Interview with God
Then he passed in front of Moses and called out, “I am the Lord God. I am merciful and very patient with my people. I show great love, and I can be trusted.”
Exodus 34:6 (CEV)
Imagine you’ve got a one-hour, face-to-face interview with God. What would you talk about? Would you argue with him about where he put you and who he made you to be? Would you beg to know what’s coming in the future? Would you demand he fix all of the world’s problems?
Actually, we would be so overwhelmed by his holy presence, our fragile bodies wouldn’t be able to take it. We would be consumed by his perfection . . . and horrified at our sins. That’s in part why we can only get glimpses of him.
But the glimpses are amazing. In today’s Bible verse, we see what Moses learned about God when he spoke with him: that he forgives, loves, shows mercy. Even when we are unfaithful, he remains loyal to us. Even when we are ungrateful, he keeps giving. Even when we are disobedient or outright hateful, he loves.
How does that change how you view God and your life? It should change everything.
And the amazing news: he wants us to know him, to be with him. When we spend time thinking about God’s Word and praying, we get to know him more. When we ask for forgiveness of our sin and rely on his help to do what pleases him, we grow closer to him.
Take time now to have your interview with God through prayer. He is waiting to hear from you . . . and wants to speak to you, too!
