Key Thought:
In our reading this morning, Moses asked God to clarify His relationship with him and the people. Would He go up with them personally or not? Obviously, Moses wanted to know more about God, and this tells us something about Moses’ dynamic faith and walk with God. Through all the adverse circumstances of his life, he grew in his faith and spiritual hunger. Is that true of us? Moses wanted to know more of God’s ways so the favor of God would rest not only upon him but on his people as well. God reassured Moses that His presence would go with them. We have that same assurance in our dispensation, as the Spirit of God dwells within us. (1 Cor. 6:19-20)
When Moses asked to see God’s glory, God agreed but with certain restrictions. He would pass by Moses and proclaim His personal name “Jehovah” to him. God chose to display His glory before Moses, who would stand upon a rock to behold the sight. As God passed by, He would put Moses in a cave or small enclosure in the rock and cover Moses. Moses came down from the mountain and there was a glow about him. It was evident that he had been with God. I wonder how often there is a visible difference in our disposition following our devotional time or as we leave the auditorium at church. Do people conclude about us… “They have spent some time with God!”
