Communicating with the Father (2)
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. Imagine one of your friends. Imagine how you communicate with the person. It is possible to communicate with God the same way. Moses did…
Primary Text: Exodus 33v11-23
“And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. And Moses said unto the LORD, See, Thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and Thou hast not let me know whom Thou wilt send with me. Yet Thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. Now therefore, I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy sight, shew me now Thy way, that I may know Thee, that I may find grace in Thy sight: and consider that this nation is Thy people. And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
And he said unto Him, If Thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and Thy people have found grace in Thy sight? is it not in that Thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and Thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that Thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in My sight, and I know thee by name.
And he said, I beseech Thee, shew me Thy glory. And He said, I will make all My goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. And He said, Thou canst not see My face: for there shall no man see Me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by Me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while My glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with My hand while I pass by: And I will take away Mine hand, and thou shalt see My back parts: but My face shall not be seen.” Exodus 33v 11-23
We can see in the case of Moses, that we can ask God concerning things that He has said. But how do you know what He has said, if you do not know what He has said, by fellowshipping with Him and reading His Word? Now, God said He would do what Moses had asked because Moses had found grace in the sight of God. Do you know that now God invites us as His children to come boldly before His throne of grace where we can obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need? I don’t know about you but I need God for everything! In fact, He tells us in John 15 that without Him we can do nothing. Moses knew that a great work was before him, and he aired his concerns to God, asking God who He was going to send with him. God’s amazing answer – I will go with you and I will give you rest. Can you imagine doing a great work with God by your side, and having rest while doing it? Communicate with your Father, talk to Him, let Him be your Guide, your Shield, your Help.
Prayer
Why don’t you ask God to show you His glory.
