The Glory of God

Now Show Me Your Glory

Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” – Exodus 33:18

 Moses had just come down from Mount Sinai after spending 40 days in the presence of God, beholding his glory and receiving the Law. The sight before him caused his blood to boil; the people had turned away from God and were worshipping a golden calf.

Moses was so disturbed that he cast the stone tablets down before the people, breaking them in pieces. He had the golden calf ground to powder, put in the water and made the people drink it. He then went to the tent where he would go to get a fresh word from the Lord. It was in this tent called the Tent of Meeting that we find our text for the devotion today. This interaction between God and Moses is recorded in Exodus 33.

Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you…  The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (v12-14)

Moses needed assurances that he would not be taking this rebellious people across the desert alone. God saw his concern and promised that he would go with him. God further assured him in verse 17, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.” It just can’t get any better than to know that God is pleased with you and he even confirms, “I know your name.”

That was all Moses needed. He was convinced and after receiving this full assurance of God’s presence going with him he said, “Now, show me your glory.”

There are times when all of us need to be reassured of God being with us and we need to know that his presence goes with us: We need to see his glory.

Prayer: Lord, I need your abiding presence to assure me that you are going with me as I do your will. In Jesus name, amen.



Affirmation:  I know God's favor rests upon those who seek him and walk in his ways.  That is why I cry out to him seeking his face and his ways.



Take It A Little Deeper

In the study guide edition we include a section page which has these sections:

The main idea of the devotion is brought out in the Message section:
Message:  We must cry out to God, just as Moses did, "Teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you."

An affirmation of the principle is suggested:
Affirmation:  I know God's favor rests upon those who seek him and walk in his ways.  That is why I cry out to him seeking his face and his ways.


The reflection section contains ideas questions and ideas which are good for personal reflection as well as for discussion in small groups: 
 Reflection:  Moses is our example of what to do when we are faced with a difficult situation. He had a special place he would go when he needed to hear from God. He called his special place "The Tent of Meeting." Do you have a special place you go to cry out to God and listen for his voice? If you don't it would be good to establish that place now.

The final section is a place to journal thoughts about the devotion and to write questions and ideas for small group discussion:
