[The Glory Unveiled]
If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” (Exodus 33:13 )
If we had the opportunity to make any request in the presence of God, we must be careful what we ask for. Often than not, when we come to the presence of God, we sometimes drag the flesh along. And since it is only by faith we please God, the flesh misleads us. Moses, the prophet and leader of the Israelites during their Exodus, had the opportunity to make a request in the presence of God. Of all that he could ask for, including the material blessings which any of us will gladly jump at, he did not ask for a physical thing. Instead, he asked God to teach him His ways. His reason for this request even makes it desirable. He wanted to know the ways of God so that he will know God and also continue to find favour with Him. He was looking for something that will not be spent within a short time. He asked for the continuous favour of God. For with God’s favour, he could have access to other things. This is why the Bible records that the Israelites knew the acts/deeds of God but Moses knew the ways of God (Psalms 103:7). While the Israelites asked for material (physical) things such as food and water, Moses was asking God for His ways and favour. In this time of “technological captivity”, we need to know the ways of God for ourselves which will translate into the favour of God for us. Let us tarry to know the ways of God by paying whatever price; laying aside every weight.
Prayer_Bead: Father of all souls, Spirit of Truth, teach us your ways and guide us to walk in that revelation of who you are. Favour us in all our endeavors that your name may be glorified.
