The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus
Chapter 33
Show Me Your Glory
The Glory of God
God's Glory
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.
Moses Asked ... Show Me Your Glory
Moses Sought the Glory of God
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.
Show Me Your Glory Summary
The Glory of God Awaits
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
