The Glory of God
June 30, 2009
Indeed, it was spiritually fulfiling to be back at BSF after the June holiday break. I was dreading to attend it as i was already tired out after a long day at work. I’m glad i went, as Sam encouraged me.

Moses met God in the burning bush & heard God calling him.
Moses met God in the pillar of cloud and spoke at great length.
Despite the encounters with God, Moses yearned to see God face to face. But who could see God and not die ? (Exodus 33:20)
Moses did not go disappointed. God showed his goodness to Moses & Moses saw the back of God..! (Exodus 33:23)

It makes me realise how bold it is to ask to see God face to face. I don’t think my righteousness surpass that of Moses to be able to see God and not die. But of course, we cannot measure righteousness in the first place. But like Moses, i need a fresh vision of God as His presence is essential in all service. He is to be my perspective.
It is timely to be reminded in His word that He said,
“My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14
His glorious face i can’t behold but His assuring Presence i know i can depend on.
