Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

Exodus chapter 34 verses 6 and 7.

Now keep in mind that I'm about to read this verse and the previous chapter,

Moses prays to God, please show me your glory.

Which just think about that, that was a bold request.

Not just to ask for that, but think of all that Moses had already seen.

Like Moses had seen God reveal his glory in a burning bush as God spoke to him.

Moses had seen God reveal his glory in powerful ways as God revealed his name, the Lord to Moses.

As God called Moses to go to Pharaoh and as God brought about plague after plague,

after plague, demonstrations of his glory, his power, his judgment.

And then Moses saw God deliver all the Israelites out of slavery and Egypt.

Then Moses saw God split a sea in half and lead his people through on dry land.

Then Moses saw God lead his people in the pillar of cloud by day and fire by night.

Moses saw God give bread from heaven and water from rocks.

Like if anybody had seen the glory of God, Moses had Moses the one who got to go up on the mountain

and meet with God and receive the word of God.

Like this picture of God is a consuming fire and Moses was invited to meet with God if anybody

had seen the glory of God Moses had.

And so that's what I mean.

It feels pretty bold when I'm reading Exodus 33 verse 18 and Moses said,

now please show me your glory.

It's like really not seen enough glory, Moses, but I guess that's the point.
