As in any relationship, whether it’s marriage, or a friendship, or your relationship with your employer; boundaries and expectations have to be set and clearly communicated in order to ensure the success of that relationship. Good relationships typically don’t happen without some sort of a structure to guide them.

We’ve arrived at a hugely significant part of the Exodus narrative. God has delivered Israel – his “treasured possession” out of Egypt and has brought them to Mount Sinai where he will clarify and establish his relationship to them. He will do this through a covenant, with Moses as its mediator. This covenant – what we know as the Mosaic Covenant – will form the bedrock of how God relates to his people Israel and will guide their existence in the Promised Land that the Lord is about to give them. An important part of this covenant is summed up in the Ten Commandments which we’re going to camp out on over the coming weeks.

What we’re going to see is that this covenantal arrangement is not an end in itself. Israel will receive a law that they’re unable to keep and they will come before the presence of God whom they’re unable to approach. Instead, we’re going to see that this covenant ultimately points us to Christ and the glories of the new covenant. Because Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, we can approach God freely.

When we feel that life hasn’t worked out the way that we had hoped, there’s a temptation for us to start grumbling against God. We can feel embittered towards him, thinking that he has in some way held out on us, not provided for our needs, or not come through for us in ways that we expected. God is meant to be good, yet perhaps we have no experience of his goodness in our lives right now.

In this passage, we see that yet again, the Israelites are grumbling against God. They’re still wandering in the wilderness in Sinai, and they’re without water. In their anger, they proceed to put God on trial. Incredibly God submits to be judged, and he ultimately provides them with water. What we’ll see in this text is that because God endured judgement in our place, he grants us true living waters, life everlasting.

With elections in 23 days’ time, I thought it would be appropriate to take a break from Exodus and get some biblical perspective as we gear into election season. There is lots of fear and uncertainty in the air. What will we wake up to on the 30 May? Is there a God-glorifying way to participate in elections? What qualities should we be looking for in the political parties that we vote for? What should our attitude be to our government in general?

We are going to look at Psalm 146 and it is a really glorious psalm! What we see in this psalm is an exhortation not to trust in “princes” in those who rule over us. They will always disappoint us. Instead, this psalm points us to hope only in our God, who never fails us – he keeps faith forever! Because only God really cares for us, we are to worship him, and him alone.
