0:13
Hello, friends. It is Sean, here it is a Monday.
0:17
It is a start of a new week. It is June the 19th and we are
0:23
tiptoeing all the way to the middle of the Year through this
0:27
book of Exodus. Well we're not tiptoeing.
0:29
So Such an exodus but it feels like why is it that every year?
0:34
It feels like it's almost the middle of the year.
0:36
It's almost the end of the year. Well middle and wherever we are
0:40
the last drop. It's been about two and a half
0:42
months. We have been working our way
0:45
through the book of Exodus and we are entering into the last
0:48
couple of weeks of x's. We have gone through God sitting
0:52
out the agenda for what it will look like to live in a covenant
0:57
or relationship with his people. And then just as they're about
1:01
to get started, the people blew it and so now they are reforging
1:06
the way forward together. And God is Keen to keep the
1:09
moving toward the promised land. So let us keep moving toward the
1:14
promised land. As we read together, Exodus
1:17
chapter 33, The Lord said to Moses, get
1:31
going you and the people you brought up from the land of
1:34
Egypt, go up to the land. I swore to give to Abraham,
1:38
Isaac and Jacob, I told them I will give this land to your
1:42
descendants and I will send an angel before you to drive out
1:46
the Canaanites amorites, Hittites, perizzites hivites and
1:50
jebusites go up to this land. That flows with milk and honey,
1:56
but I will not travel among you For you are a stubborn and
1:59
rebellious people if I did, I would surely destroy you along
2:03
the way. When the people heard these
2:06
Stern words, they went into mourning and stop wearing their
2:09
jewelry and fine clothes. For the Lord had told Moses to
2:13
tell them, you are a stubborn and rebellious people, if I were
2:18
to travel with you for even a moment I would destroy.
2:22
You remove your jewelry and fine clothes while I decide what to
2:26
do with you. So from the time they left Mount
2:29
Sinai the Israelites war. No more jewelry or fine clothes.
2:34
It was Moses. Practice to take the tent of
2:37
meeting and set it up some distance from the camp.
2:40
Everyone who wanted to make a request of the Lord would go to
2:43
the tent of meeting outside. The camp, whenever Moses, went
2:47
out to the tent of meeting, all the people would get up and
2:50
stand in the entrance of their own tents.
2:53
They would all watch Moses until he disappeared inside.
2:57
As he went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down
3:00
and hover at its entrance. While the Lord spoke with Moses,
3:05
when the people saw the cloud standing at the entrance of the
3:07
tent, they would stand and bow down in front of their own tents
3:12
inside the tent of meeting the Lord would speak to Moses face
3:16
to face as one speaks to a friend afterward.
3:20
Moses would return to the camp, but the young man who assisted
3:23
him Joshua, son of nun would remain.
3:26
Main behind in the tent of meeting.
3:30
One day Moses said to the Lord, you have been telling me take
3:35
these people up to the promised land, but you haven't told me
3:39
whom you will send with me. You were told me I know you by
3:43
name and I look favorably on you if it is true that you look
3:48
favorably on me, let me know your ways.
3:51
So I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your
3:55
favor. And remember that this nation is
3:58
your very own people. The Lord replied.
4:03
I will personally go with you. Moses and I will give you rest.
4:09
Everything will be fine for you. Then Moses said, if you don't
4:15
personally go with us, don't make us leave this place.
4:19
How will anyone know that you're look?
4:21
Favorably on me, on me, and on your people.
4:24
If you don't go with us for your presence, Among Us sets, your
4:29
people and me apart from all other people on the Earth, the
4:33
Lord replied to Moses. I will indeed do what you have
4:38
asked for. I look favorably on you and I
4:41
know. By name, Moses responded.
4:45
Then show me your glorious presence.
4:49
The Lord replied. I will make all my goodness pass
4:53
before you and I will call out my name Yahweh before you for.
4:59
I will show Mercy to anyone. I choose and I will show
5:03
compassion to anyone I choose, but you may not look directly at
5:08
my face for no one. May see me and live The Lord
5:12
continued look stand near me on this rock as my glorious
5:18
presence passes by. I will hide you in the crevice
5:22
of The Rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by
5:26
then I will remove my hand and let you see me from behind but
5:31
my face will not be seen. You are a big and glorious God.
5:49
Even if we employ our wildest imagination, we still just can't
5:54
wrap our heads around you. God today as we go about living
6:01
Our Lives. I pray that we would see your
6:04
back that we would see evidence of you in our lives that you
6:11
would just peel back that Veil that we walk around each day
6:16
with and that we would see your hand and your provision, in your
6:20
love, in your kindness, in Your Glory.
6:26
So that we can know that it's not just Israel with whom who
6:29
you journeyed through life. But with us, holy spirit awake
6:36
in us and let us know your presence.
6:39
You are glorious and we love you.
6:42
And we thank you for being here with us now, that's in Jesus
6:46
name that we pray. All these things are men.
6:26
So that we can know that it's not just Israel with whom who
6:29
you journeyed through life. But with us, holy spirit awake
6:36
in us and let us know your presence.
6:39
You are glorious and we love you.
6:42
