We're delighted to have you back with us again at Daily Bread! In our last story, Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments to find the children of Israel had made themselves a golden calf to worship while Moses was gone. In his anger, he threw down the precious tablets with God's inscription on them and broke them to pieces.

The son's of Levi repented early and by the Lord's command killed about 3,000 people in the camp that day. Moses returned to God to seek forgiveness for the rest, and the Lord said that whoever sinned against Him would be blotted out of His book. He plagued the people and told Moses to continue on to the Promised Land with them and when He decided, the people would pay for their sin.

The Lord told Moses, Leave here with the people you've brought up out of Egypt and go to the land that I promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, to your seed I will give it. I'll send an Angel in front of you to drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, and bring you to a land flowing with milk and honey. I won't go up in the midst of you, because you are a stubborn people, and I might destroy you on the way. Tell the children of Israel, you are a rebellious people. I will come up into the midst of you in an instant and destroy you, so take off your ornaments so I can decide what to do with you.

Are You Seeking God's Glory?

The people were sorrowful and they took off their ornaments. Moses took the tabernacle, and set it up far outside the camp and named it the Tabernacle of the congregation. Anyone who wanted the Lord went outside the camp to the Tabernacle of the congregation.

When Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people looked from their tent doors and watched Moses until he was gone inside the tabernacle. As he entered into the door, the cloudy pillar came down and stood outside and the Lord talked with Moses. All the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door and they stood up and worshiped, every man at his own tent door.

The Lord talked with Moses face to face, like a man speaks to his friend. Moses said to the Lord, You told me to lead these people and you haven't told me who you will send with me. But, you said, I know you by name and you have found grace in my sight. Now, I beg you, if I have found grace in your sight, lead me so that I may know you too, and gain your favor, and please consider that this nation is your people.

God's Glory Bible Story

God heard Moses' sincerity and He told Moses, My presence will go with you, and I will give you peace. Moses said to Him, If you don't go with me, don't take us from here. How will it be known that I and your people have your forgiveness? Won't it be if you will go with us? If you're with us, I and your people will be different from all the people on the face of the earth. You can feel in Moses' words that he couldn't stand even the thought of God not being with them.

The Lord said to Moses, I'll do this thing that you have asked because you have found Grace in my sight and I know you by name. And Moses said to God, I beg you, Show Me Your Glory. And God said, I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I'll proclaim the name of the Lord to you, and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. You cannot see my face, for there will be no man that will see me, and live. There's a place by me, and you'll stand on a rock. While my glory passes by, I'll put you in a hollow of the rock, and I'll cover you with my hand while I pass by, and I'll take away my hand, and you'll see my back, but my face will not be seen.

God's Glory Conclusion

Can you even begin to imagine the feeling in Moses' soul at that moment. If Moses could tell us what the best moment of his life was, it would probably be that one. We live for that very reason, to one day see God. Moses asked and God granted his request. He may not show Himself to everyone in the same way that He showed Himself to Moses that day, but if you begin to look at your life differently, from a Spiritual point of view, you will feel His hand covering you and sometimes after something wonderful happens, you will look up and realize that He was there. And when you start to seek Him more, you will find Him more.

In our next story, more of the conversation between Moses and God. Be sure to join us again for more exciting study of the Book of Exodus, here at Daily Bread.

There is a force out there that is attempting to overtake us all; it is Satan. There is another force that is protecting us from him; it is the Holy Spirit. It is a battle for souls. This battle is called Spiritual Warfare, and like it or not, you are right in the middle of it.
