We Long to Catch Glimpses of His Glory, November 28
I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
Exodus 33:18
.
It is our privilege to reach high and still higher, for clearer revealings
of the character of God. When Moses prayed, “I beseech thee, shew me
thy glory,” the Lord did not rebuke him, but He granted his prayer....
It is sin that darkens our minds and dims our perceptions. As sin is
purged from our hearts, the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in
the face of Jesus Christ, illuminating His word, and reflected from the face
of nature, more and more fully will declare Him “merciful and gracious,
long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.”
In His light shall we see light, until mind and heart and soul are trans-
formed into the image of His holiness.
For those who thus lay hold of the divine assurances of God’s Word,
there are wonderful possibilities. Before them lie vast fields of truth, vast
resources of power. Glorious things are to be revealed. Privileges and
duties which they do not even suspect to be in the Bible will be made
manifest. All who walk in the path of humble obedience, fulfilling His
purpose, will know more and more of the oracles of God....
The precious faith inspired of God imparts strength and nobility of
character. As His goodness, His mercy, and His love are dwelt upon,
clearer and still clearer will be the perception of truth; higher, holier, the
desire for purity of heart and clearness of thought. The soul dwelling in
the pure atmosphere of holy thought is transformed by intercourse with
God through the study of His Word. Truth is so large, so far-reaching, so
deep, so broad, that self is lost sight of. The heart is softened and subdued
into humility, kindness, and love. And the natural powers are enlarged
because of holy obedience
