Moses said, ‘Please show me your glory.’ (Exodus 33:18)
Daily reading: Jeremiah 29
Moses had already experienced astonishing revelations of God—he’d seen the bush that burned yet was not consumed, witnessed God’s mighty hand in delivering Israel through the Red Sea, and received provision from heaven in the wilderness. Yet, those wonders only stirred a deeper hunger in him for more of God. This request wasn’t for power or miracles, but for a greater revelation of God Himself—His very character and presence. In response, God promised to make all His goodness pass before Moses, declaring His name and revealing His grace and compassion (Exodus 33:19).
This is the true glory of God: not just His majesty, but His mercy; not only His might, but His love. Today, that glory is revealed most fully in the Person of His Son, through whom we receive grace upon grace (Ephesians 2:4–8). May our prayer echo Moses’: Lord, show us Your glory!
