Exodus
33.11 (NIV)
The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his
friend.
|
 |
I saw the Lord. He was high and lifted up
and rightfully adored . . . I saw the Lord . . . and He saw me.*
|

I
can’t think of anything more splendid than to be in Moses’ position. God didn’t
just reveal himself to Moses; he spoke to him face to face as a man speaks with
his friend. Don’t you wonder what Moses and the Lord talked about? Friends don’t
always discuss weighty issues; sometimes they just have fun discussions.
Friends encourage one another and share stories about themselves. Is it
disrespectful to imagine God and Moses sharing a laugh?
I have never actually seen God’s face, but like Moses,
I am friends with the awesome, powerful Creator of the universe. I have known
his presence and heard his voice. Many times he has reminded me of his
promises, spoken to me of truths, and comforted me through his Word.
I don’t know what God and I will talk about when we
sit down together in Heaven, but I know I will have his undivided attention as
we meet face to face.
