Part Five: Glorious God

(Sorry for the delay…part five of Exodus 33….)

The deepest longing of the fabric of our being is to be united with our Lord and Saviour.
The more we know about God,
the more we want to know and behold Him.

To behold his beauty and stand amazed.
To worship!

Moses was bold in his petition to see God’s glory (Ex 33:18).
And the gracious Lord allowed Moses to catch a glimpse of his presence, for his servant’s encouragement and edification.

May we, too, turn our eyes to behold God’s glory,
To catch glimpses of his majesty,
and to proclaim his incredible worth:
adoring,
glorifying,
exalting,
lifting high.

May we behold God’s
Lovingkindness
Mercy
Justice
Righteousness
Incredible, awe-inspiring, humbling Glory,
too great to be fully revealed to us sin-saturated creatures.

It’s amazing how He makes everything seem dim in comparison.
And also more beautiful.

But I saw no temple in [the city], for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. Revelation 21:22-23 (underline mine)
