As a result of Israel’s depravity in chapter 32, God said that they were to go up to the land that he had promised to give them, but that His presence would not go with them. He was speaking of the near presence of God.

When the people of Israel heard this sad word, they went into mourning and put off the ornaments they had been wearing from Egypt. Moses pitched a tent a good distance outside the camp and called it the tent of meeting. Everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.

Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would arise and stand, gazing after Moses until he entered the tent. And whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the entrance of the tent. There the Lord would speak with Moses just as a man speaks to his friend. Whenever the Lord and Moses met at the tent of meeting, the people would stand in worship, each at the entrance of his tent.

Moses interceded for the people of Israel in the tent of meeting. God saw that Israel had put off the ornaments from Egypt, He saw them when they worshiped, He saw them going to the tent of meeting themselves and He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.” This meant so much to Moses that he added, “If your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from this place.”

Moses then asked for something for himself, something personal, “If I have found favor in your sight, let me know your ways, that I may know you.”

In verse 17, God answered, “I will do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight, and I have known you by name.” Moses had the boldness to ask for one more thing. “Please,” Moses said, “show me your glory.”

God responded to this request, “I Myself will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you.”

This is one of the most important stories of the Old Testament because it touches the very core of our relationship to God. To understand the significance of the glory of God and the presence of God in your life, is to understand some of the deepest truths in our relationship to God.

I. Ask, Seek, and Knock

 Moses wanted more. He wanted to know God more deeply, “Show me your ways, that I might know you.” God was pleased, “I will do this thing of which you have spoken.”

 Moses then asked, “Please, show me your glory.” There is no greater request; there is nothing higher than this.

 No one had seen as much of God’s glory as Moses and yet he wanted more. God is pleased when you want more of Him.

Matthew 7:7-8, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened… How much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!”

A. God’s goodness is glorious
 God said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you.” God reveals His glory through His goodness.
 God speaks of all His goodness and then says, “I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you.”
 The name of the Lord speaks of the goodness of the Lord and gives the answer to your need. Do you need peace? He is Jehovah Shalom. Do you need provision? He is Jehovah Jireh. Do you need healing? He is Jehovah Rapha. Do you need rest? He is Jehovah Raah – God your shepherd.
 He said His glory would pass by and Moses would see the glory that follows behind God.
Illus – What follows behind you? The impact of your nature and character follow you. When you come into the living room and see an empty bag of popcorn, empty glasses and snack wrappers, you might say, “A teenager has been here.” Or if you come into a bedroom with socks, dirty clothes and a towel on the floor you might say, “A husband has passed by this way.”
