Exodus 33: 11
Inside the Tent of Meeting, the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. ...
The Lord God Almighty is our great God, and no one can look upon His face and live! When God showed Moses His Goodness on the mountain, He put him in a cleft of the rock and covered him with His hand as He passed by, so Moses saw His back; and still, Moses' face shone, it glowed as it reflected God's Glory so brightly that he wore a veil when he addressed the people.
And yet, God spoke with Moses in the Tent of Meeting "face to face, as a man speaks to his friend"! God allowed Moses to have such an intimate friendship with Him, to befriend him so powerfully. And Moses was so meek, he knew he didn't deserve it.
O my dear Father, You put Moses' story in Your Word so that we could know that You offer that same, intimate friendship you had with him, to anyone who will give himself fully to Your purposes; to give You everything considered of value, to receive from You what is beyond worth.
Father, You want to do so many great things in this world, if only one person will give himself totally to You, as Moses did.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
