What does it say?
God promised to go with Israel into the Promised Land. Moses is granted an encounter with God’s glory and goodness.
What does it mean?
Moses had an intimate friendship with God, speaking “face to face.” It was in the context of this friendship that Moses expressed his concerns about leading Israel any further without God’s presence going before them on the path. Moses’ greatest desire was to know and please God. He didn’t list problems for God to fix or beg for stuff he wanted. He asked for God, for more of…God. Because of this, God gave Moses a unique experience. He reassured Moses by showing him His goodness and proclaiming His name. Moses’ courage to lead came out of experiencing the presence of God.
How should I respond?
How would you describe your relationship with God? How would God describe it? Like Moses, we all need time and space in our lives to get “outside the camp” and meet with God to strengthen the intimacy of the relationship. But then, like Moses, we need to do more than simply “do devotions.” What do you ask for when you pray? Are you desperate for God’s presence? In what situation do you currently need to seek His guidance before you make a move? As a friend of God, ask to see more. Love God by asking Him for more of Him.
Scripture
About this Plan
The book of Exodus chronicles the Israelites' rescue from Egypt, deliverance from slavery, and establishment of the tabernacle in the wilderness. In Exodus, we see the premier covenantal promise of God is the reality of his presence among His people, leading, guiding, and directing them towards holiness in Him.
