7. He made known his ways unto Moses. Moses
was made to see the manner in which the Lord deals with people; he saw this in
each of the three periods of his life, in the court, in retirement, and at the
head of the tribes of Israel. To him the Lord gave specially clear
manifestations of his dispensations and modes of ruling among mankind, granting
to him to see more of God than had before been seen by mortals, while he
communed with him upon the mount. His acts unto the children of Israel.
They saw less than Moses, for they beheld the deeds of God without
understanding his method therein; yet this was much, very much, and might have
been more if they had not been so perverse. It is a great act of sovereign
grace and condescending love when the Lord reveals himself to any people, and
they ought to appreciate the distinguished favor shown to them. We, as
believers in Jesus, know the Lord’s ways of covenant grace, and we have
by experience been made to see his acts of mercy towards us; how
heartily ought we to praise our divine teacher, the Holy Spirit, who has made
these things known to us, for had it not been for him we should have continued
in darkness unto this day.
