The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent. (Exodus 33:11)
Joshua had the privilege of being present to see the encounters that occurred between Moses and the LORD. Some of you might be able to speak in a similar manner: that is, maybe you have a family member or mentor whose walk with God is open to your scrutiny. Or maybe you've seen a pastor engaged in intercessory prayer.
Do you want what they have?
Do you long for it badly enough that you remain in the presence of God, even knowing that you don't currently have the sort of relationship with God that would allow you to have a "Moses"-like experience? Or are you merely a curious onlooker with no desire to encounter God for yourself?
We serve a gracious God who knows our hearts. If our delight is in Him, He will fulfill our heart's desire (see Psalm 37:4). Joshua was able to experience the transition from being a spectator to becoming a full participant in the plan of God. How about you?
Lord, please help us to want a deeper relationship with You!
