“So, the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.” - Exodus 33:11
Moses had a special place where he met with God It was called “the tabernacle of meeting” (v. 7). What did they talk about? “Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, “Bring up this people.” But You have not let me know whom You will send with me…Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight…”And He said, ‘My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” (vs 12-14). Take note of the three things Moses asked God about:
(1) “Let me know whom you will send with me.” Now that was wise because people either add to or take from you, build you up or tear you down. You need to know who belongs in your life and who does not. And God is the only One who can tell you that.
(2) “Show me now your way.” God's will, done God's way according to God's timetable always brings success. But your will, done your way, according to your timetable can bring you trouble and heartache.
(3) “That I may know You, and that I may find grace in Your sight.” Here the word “Grace” means divine enablement. By yourself you are not equal to the challenge, but through the power of God's indwelling Spirit, you can accomplish great things.
What God promised to Moses; He also promises to you. My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. So, talk to God about it. He’s your friend too.
