Scripture

The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Observation
Moses asks the Lord to show him who He is and how to continue to find favour with Him.

The Lord promises that He will send His Presence with Moses and the people.

Moses then asks to see the Lord’s glory. The Lord replies that He will hide Moses in the cleft of the rock before passing by as no one can see His face and live.

Application
Moses approaches the Lord with great boldness. He recognises that the task of leading Israel is too great and he needs the Lord’s Presence to lead and direct them. He also seeks a deeper revelation of the glory of God.

Every christian needs a greater knowledge of the presence of God and a greater revelation of His glory.

Unlike Moses, we have the Holy Spirit in us- God’s Presence is always with us. He has promised never to leave us or forsake us.

We should always be seeking a greater appreciation of the nature and character of God. He will give us that revelation if we seek Him with an honest heart.

Prayer
Lord, lead me in your ways and let me see your glory. Amen.
