God gave Moses a difficult job. To lead a rebellious, self-centered, stiff-necked people through a desert to the promised land, he needed a close relationship with the Lord.
After forty days on the mountain, receiving the Ten Commandments from God, Moses returns and finds the people worshipping a golden calf they made and committing terrible sins of immorality. In anger, he throws down the stone tablets containing the Law and brakes it, then he goes back to the mountain and talks with God.
Exodus 33:18-19 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
It seems that Moses is praying for a revival. Revival is close when we want to know God's ways so that we might better serve Him—to long for His presence to guide us day by day;
When the Lord begins to move in a life, He has a way of rooting out sin, selfishness and hypocrisy. Many are afraid of a real move of God.
For those who are willing to seek it, it will change their lives forever. Are we willing to spend time in prayer, seeking the Lord until He comes in a genuine revival where His glory is revealed and His power is demonstrated?
