The passage of scripture that kind of caught my interest was verse 18-19. In this verse Moses boldly says to God “Hey I have been talking to you this whole time. I want to see the man behind the mask. I want to see who you really are.” (Okay maybe I was paraphrasing but it sounds like something I would say.) What God says to him really had me thinking. God said no one can see me and live. That is where I kind of start to think.
The reason why I stop to think is because Moses had spent a lot of time with God. I mean shouldn’t he know he could die if he seen Gods face? Now it this is my opinion no bible or fact to cover this, but I think Moses had to know that his sinful body could not handle the pure face and holiness of God. I also believe that this was bothering Moses.
Moses saw the many mask the God wore. He saw the burning bush, and the cloud that guided them through the desert. He saw the many mask that God wore, but he really wanted to see the real face. He wanted to see the person he built a relationship with over the years. He was willing to die to do it. He was willing to die to see God. I thought of to myself this. ’When have I really got so desperate to see God that I said I am willing to die?’ Now I do not mean a physical death (though if I had to I know I would). I am talking about what in my life at this point do I need to kill so I can see more of God?
When I asked myself this question many things popped in my head. There were some things that would be hard, while others seems easy to get rid of, never the less it would require work. The question came to mind. Where do I start? Well Moses shows us in Exodus 33:7-11.
This is where I will leave you for another time. God is up to good things. He is looking for a Generation that will stop talking and listen. I mean that in many ways from our prayer lives to our actions when it comes to our Christians live. Until next time. Good Day !!!
