Exodus 33:12-23 is a

conversation betweenMoses and God.


4/63

It's like a Facebook

conversation.(Let's listen in...)


5/63

Exodus 33:12-23

Moses @LORD, You have been telling me,

'Lead these people,' but you have not letme know whom you will send with me. You

have said, 'I know you by name and you

have found favor with me.'

Moses @LORD, 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.

The LORD @Moses, My Presence will go

with you, and I will give you rest.


6/63

Exodus 33:12-23

Moses @LORD, If your Presence does not

go with us, do not send us up from here.

Moses @LORD, How will anyone know that

you are pleased with me and with your

people unless you go with us? What else

will distinguish me and your people from

all the other people on the face of the

earth?The LORD @Moses, I will do the very thing

you have asked, because I am pleased with

you and I know you by name.

8/63

Exodus 33:12-23

The LORD @Moses, But you cannot see my

face, for no one may see me and live.The LORD @Moses, There is a place near

me where you may stand on a rock. When

my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleftin the rock and cover you with my hand

until I have passed by. Then I will remove

my hand and you will see my back; but my

face must not be seen.

CAFE @Moses, Wow! What a request! You

long to: 1) know God, 2) learn His ways,

CAFE The presence and blessing of God

ought to be a necessary requirement in

any endeavor we wish to undertake -

whether big or small. What do you think?

blessing of God ought to be anecessary requirement in any

endeavor we wish to undertake

- whether big or small.

What do you think?


26/63

CAFE But how many of us push

forward in doing what we wantand in the way we want it&

don't even seek God's

guidance. Then, when we have

moved forward, we "expect"
