Do you want to know what statement scares me the most? When we ask to see the glory of God, do we really know what it is we are asking for? Looking at our season of life as a family and knowing that God is actively stirring in our hearts has me uttering these words and this quite frankly this scares me. We see in Exodus 33 that Moses says these exact words.

Exodus 33:18 (NKJV) 18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.”

I think it’s safe to say
we want to see God move in our schools, communities and churches but do we really want to see His glory with no strings attached? In my opinion it’s equivalent to saying your will be done. The question I have to ask myself is do I really want what God wants? Do I really want to see His glory? Will it be what I want or will it cost me something to see His glory? I think it’s safe to say we want to see Gods blessings but do we truly desire God alone? What if God alone looks very different in our lives then we currently think? What if we have confused the prayer to see His glory for a prayer to see His blessings? These questions swirl around in my head as I ponder what God may be calling us towards. I did not go into ministry to see my own glory or someone else’s, I want to see God made famous, I want to see Him move in a raw and real way. When we read in Exodus, we note that Moses saw God move in miraculous ways. We also see in this verse that whatever he saw, he wanted more of. This is most intriguing.

When is the last time you and I really sought Gods glory? Is there a limit to what we are willing to do or give up to see it? Let’s pray for an unfaltering, relentless pursuit of Him and His glory. Let’s sacrifice whatever we need to make this happen.

Let’s finish strong!
