Show me Thy Glory!

Sunday Evening, I spoke, with the help from God, about the moment in Moses' life in which he cries out unto God, "Lord, show me thy glory!"

He looked around him and the children of Israel had let him down.

All the work he had down seemed to have unraveled due to the lack of wisdom by Arron.

Moses cries unto the Lord, "Show me thy Glory."

He was in a sense, at a moment of desperation in his life.

He was depressed, down trodden, hurt, disappointed, all at the same time.

Moses was called back up to Mt Sinai. It was here, that not only does the Lord respond, but he places Moses in the cleft of the rock.

In I Corinthians 10:4 we see a passage of scripture that tells us what that rock is.

"And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."

Now in Moses' situation, the cleft of the rock could be a typecast of the rock we have grown to know today as the rock of our salvation, Jesus Christ.

Moses was placed in the ever loving, ever protecting hands of the rock.



I believe we can glean a few things from this today...

1. There is a rock, that we need to plant ourselves firmly within the cleft of. On Christ, the solid rock I stand, all other is sinking sand!

2. If you are to ever see the Glory of the Lord, you have to be aligned with Jesus.

3. You cannot have a visitation from God and leave unchanged. Moses glowed after his visitation. You too will be different.

Moses found himself in a discouraging moment.

How many of you are finding this time in your life troubling?

So many things that are troubling in this world and Christian are not immune to some events. The rain falls on the just and unjust. The only difference is, you have a rock for protection. You can rest in the ever loving hands of the Lord. You can make known your request today, "Lord, show me thy glory!" When He passes by...I promise you, something is going to happen.
