0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt as a resource from Radical.net.
0:30.8	I think maybe in all the Bible, and I know there's a lot of favorite verses, but just think about
0:38.2	what this first means. This is Moses speaking here, so he's talking about his desire to enter
0:45.4	into the Promised Land, and because of his sin against God, he would not enter into the Promised Land,
0:52.4	going all the way back to Numbers, chapter 20. But Moses gets near the end of his life, and you
0:59.1	think about all that Moses has seen. Like Moses has spoken with God in the form of a burning
1:08.5	bush. He's encountered God in so many different ways. He was chosen by God to go before Pharaoh.
1:17.6	He would meet with God, then go before Pharaoh. He saw plague after plague after plague. He had a
1:23.0	front row seat on all of them. He saw God deliver the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt.
1:31.5	He was the one who was standing at the edge of the red sea when he saw it split down the
1:36.7	middle so they could walk through on dry ground. He led them through on dry ground. He saw food
1:43.2	coming down from heaven and water flowing from rocks. And Mount Sinai and Exodus, chapter 19,
1:48.6	when everybody else had to stay away, Moses was invited by God to come up on that mountain and
1:55.2	meet with him to receive his law. Moses would go into the tent and meet with God.
2:01.6	Exodus 33 11 says face to face as a man speaks with his friend. Like if anyone had seen the glory
2:08.0	of God, the great works of God, Moses has, and he gets to the end of his life. And he says in
2:14.0	verse 24, oh Lord God, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your mighty hand.
2:23.6	What a statement. Like after all that, Moses says to God, well that was a good start.
2:30.9	A good start. He'd seen a lifetime of God's greatness and God's mighty hand, but that's the beauty
2:38.5	of this verse. Because when you know this God, you know that all the greatness and all the might
2:47.0	you have seen is only the beginning because his greatness and his might have no end. They cannot
2:57.8	be exhausted. This is our God. This is your God. And so we pray, oh God, all glory be to your name
