Deuteronomy 34:1-12; Hosea 6:4-7:16; Luke 19:1-28
At this time Moses was born, and was well pleasing to God. Acts 7:20 NKJV
Moses was a great man. Stephen described him as being “well pleasing to God” and “mighty in words and in deeds” (7:22). Just like us, Moses had his failures, but one request he made of God was stellar: “Show me Your glory” (Ex. 33:18). What tender intimacy! God responded, but Moses couldn’t see His face. Do I share Moses’ longing? “We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Cor. 3:18). Longing to know Him will lead to being like Him. What a prospect! —David W. Oliver
Each day, may this be my supreme desire,
To see His glory, His image acquire. —D. W. O.
