Exodus 34-38

In these chapters we read about God allowing all of his goodness to pass in front of Moses, to show Moses his glory. The Lord tells Moses that no man can see the face of the Lord and live, so he places Moses in the crevice of a rock on the mountain, and the Lord will cover him with his hand. Amazing that through the life and story of Moses that we read in the book of Exodus, we are given the details of a man who probably isn't very different than ourselves. Moses has issues with his identity, was he a Hebrew or an Egyptian, he had speech issues, anger problems, and sometimes he faith tank was on empty. And this was the man God chose to use to lead his people, this is the man whom the Bible says he spoke to God as a friend would speak to a friend. I longed so much to see the glory God showed Moses on that mountain, a glory that would leave my face radiant for everyone to see. I now realize that God has shown anyone who puts his trust in Jesus Christ the same glory. It is a glory that just does not give our faces a certain glow, but illuminates our hearts a new, to give light to a world of darkness.
Exodus 34:6-7
Yahweh-Yahweh is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth, maintaining faithful love to a thousand generations, forgiving wrongdoing, rebellion, and sin. But He will not leave the guilty unpunished, bringing the consequences of the fathers' wrongdoing on the children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation.

prayer: O compassionate Heavenly Father. I am so thankful of who you are. I give you praise and glorify your Holy name. I ask that you open the eyes of my heart to see your goodness pass before me just as you did with Moses today. I know you are working all around me, Lord lead me to walk in the path you have set before me to see your glory revealed. Make my ears sensitive to hear your Holy voice speak truth into my heart today. In your loving sons name i pray Jesus Christ, Amen.
