Psalm: 38

Meditation

Exodus: This is about “Holy Ground”. All the people hear the commotion the LORD is making: smoke, thunder, lightning, trumpets, and earthquakes (“He looketh on the earth and it trembles.” Ps. 104:32) – a great noise. People being what they are might be curious about the LORD, but the price is too high: death. The LORD and Moses want the people to keep back from this “Holy Ground”. This is the same place Moses was told to remove his shoes before the burning bush.
