Exodus 20

THE COMMANDMENTS

(20:1-21), When God gave the ten commandments, they all saw the thundering, heard the noise of the trumpet, and saw the mountain smoking. The Israelites were afraid and told Moses they would only talk to him. 

• "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

Exodus 19 marks a crucial turning point in Israel’s journey. Three months after leaving Egypt, the Israelites arrive at Mount Sinai. Here, God establishes His covenant with them, calling them to be His treasured possession and a holy nation. The people agree to obey the Lord, and preparations begin for God’s divine appearance on the mountain. This chapter sets the stage for the giving of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20.

Verses 1–2: Arrival at Sinai

The Israelites camp at the foot of Mount Sinai, a place that will become the center of divine revelation. Their journey from Egypt to Sinai symbolizes deliverance and preparation—God rescued them to bring them into a relationship with Himself.

Summary of Exodus 18

In Exodus 18, Jethro, the priest of Midian and Moses’ father-in-law, visits Moses in the wilderness after hearing of the Lord’s deliverance of Israel from Egypt. Jethro rejoices with Moses, blesses the Lord, and offers sacrifices in worship. Observing Moses’ leadership, Jethro sees him spending entire days judging disputes for the people. Concerned that this will wear Moses out and overwhelm him, Jethro advises him to delegate responsibility by appointing capable, God-fearing, trustworthy, and honest men to serve as leaders over groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. These leaders would judge routine cases while Moses handled the most difficult matters. Moses listens, implements the advice, and the people experience greater order and relief.

Main Lesson: Godly leadership requires both reliance on Him and wise delegation. Leaders are not called to carry every burden alone but to empower others, creating a sustainable and orderly community.

Personal…

“For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’” - Romans 1:17 (NIV)

This verse reminds us that righteousness doesn’t come from our efforts but through faith in Jesus Christ. The gospel reveals God’s grace—His gift of right standing with Him for all who believe. Living by faith means trusting God daily, not relying on our own strength or works. Let this verse encourage you to walk in confidence, knowing your life is grounded in faith and made righteous through Christ alone.

I shared with my prayer group recently that sometimes in life you can experience “heaven on one side and hell breaking loose on the other” — both blessings and battles happening at the same time.

It can feel almost impossible to fully enjoy the good when the weight of chaos, drama, or trials are pressing in. But the Word of God shows us that this tension is not new; many of God’s people walked through seasons where triumph and testing coexisted.

1. The Israelites at the Red Sea (Exodus 14):

Israel had just been delivered from slavery in Egypt — the greatest breakthrough they had ever known. Yet, immediately, they found themselves trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army. Deliverance and danger collided in the same moment. But God showed His power by parting the waters, reminding us that His presence is greater than the storm.

2. Nehemiah’s Builders…

Exodus Chapter 17: Water From the Rock

This chapter shows God's unending mercy, provision, and protection in times of desperation and conflict. There is a challenging time for the Israelites as they leave the Desert of Sin and encamp at Rephidim. During this time they have a serious lack of water. In their time of thirst and desperation they start to grumble and it leads to a miraculous intervention from God. The Israelites also face a threat from the Amalekites but are victorious over them.
