Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” -Exodus 33:19
Moses did not merely think of God; he saw him. God was the constant vision before him; he never lost sight of his face. He saw Jesus as his Saviour, and he believed that the Saviour’s merits would be imputed to him. This faith was to Moses no guess-work; it was a reality. This is the kind of faith we need, —faith that will endure the test. Oh, how often we yield to temptation, because we do not keep our eye upon Jesus! Our faith is not continuous, because, through self-indulgence, we sin, and then we cannot endure, as “seeing him who is invisible.” {Advocate November 1, 1899, par. 4}
Make Christ your daily, hourly companion, and you will not complain that you have no faith. Contemplate Christ. View his character. Talk of him. The less you exalt self, the more you will see in Jesus to exalt. God has a work for you to do. Keep the Lord ever before you. Reach up higher and still higher for clearer views of the character of Christ. When Moses prayed, “I beseech thee, show me thy glory,” the Lord did not rebuke him, but he granted his prayer. God declared to his servant, “I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee.” We keep apart from God, and this is why we do not see the revealing’s of his power.—Selection from Testimonies. {Advocate November 1, 1899, par. 5}
Heart Question: Are you like Moses, having a constant vision of God and that you are never losing sight of God’s face? Are you making sure that graciousness and compassion falls on you? Are you make Christ your daily, hourly companion and that you will never companion that you have no faith? Are you exalting self more than how you exalt Jesus? Are you reaching out to higher and clearer views of the character of Christ?
- Pray that you will daily and hourly encounter with Christ. That the faith of Moses will become your faith. That the character of Christ each day will become clear and clear and that the goodness of God will pass before daily.
