day no. 14,291: it all depends on what mood you're in

Exodus 3:10
"Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

Up to this point the sermon is indicative. God has done something, is doing something, sees something and has a plan. This is all in the indicative mood, reporting news about God that must be believed. But the charge doesn't come until verse 10 when He switches to the imperative mood by saying, "Come." Believe what I have said up until now and now act like you believe. A person who believes what I have said will act this way and thus demonstrate their belief. The imperative always follows the indicative - by necessity and in that order... always!
