Ezra 5:1-17; Daniel 6:1-28; Revelation 2:1-17
Please, show me Your glory. Exodus 33:18 NKJV
In making this request, Moses wanted to know more of God’s person. The Lord revealed Himself in visual glory that was veiled, but He made a further verbal revelation of His name. He declared something of His character and conduct toward humanity. He is “merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth” (Ex. 34:6). He forgives sinners but executes justice on the guilty. We will have to wait until heaven to see the full visible expression of glory but in the interval, we can see the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth, as revealed in the Word of God. —Gary McBride
What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone around Thy steps below!
What patient love was seen in all Thy life and death of woe! —E. Denny
