ROCK OF AGES

Exo 33:17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 

Exo 33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 

Exo 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 

Exo 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 

Exo 33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 

Exo 33:22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 

Exo 33:23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. 

 

          Important things are found in this portion of Scripture. We the comforting assurance of relationship when God says that He knows Moses by name. How wonderful to know that He knows me well.

 

Isa 49:16 “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands…”

 

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee;

let the water and the blood,

from thy wounded side which flowed,

be of sin the double cure;

save from wrath and make me pure.

 

Hide me Lord and let me steal a glimpse of You as you pass by. AMEN
