Text for the Day -- Exodus 33:7-11
----------
Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far
off from the camp; he called it the tent of meeting. And 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 rise and stand, each of them, at the entrance of their tents
and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent. When Moses entered
the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance
of the tent, and the LORD would speak with Moses. When all the people
saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the
people would rise and bow down, all of them, at the entrance of their
tents. Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as one
speaks to a friend. Then he would return to the camp; but his young
assistant, Joshua son of Nun, would not leave the tent.
Devotional
----------
Moses had a special relationship with God. Moses talked to God face
to face. God had called to Moses from the burning bush. God gave the
divine law through Moses and led him in the formation of God's
people. Moses was denied access to the promised land when Israel went
across the Jordan. However, we see him later standing with Jesus on
the Mount of Transfiguration. He did see the promised One in the
promised land.
Prayer
------------------
Ever guide me to the Transfigured Christ of my salvation, gracious
Lord. Amen
