You've Been Asking God For The Wrong Thing
After the Golden Calf, one of Israel's worst moments, God is still talking to Moses like a close friend.
They're about to enter a land they've never seen, and Moses could ask for anything: direction, strategy, victory, blessing.
He asks for none of it. For the first time in all of Genesis and Exodus, someone asks to know God.
People had cried out for deliverance. They'd been blessed. They'd witnessed His power at the Red Sea. But no one had asked to know God Himself.
Because there's a difference between knowing what God does and knowing His ways.
Moses had already seen the miracles. He'd been used to perform them. But he wanted something deeper: to understand the character and heart behind God Himself.
What he wanted more than God's power was God's presence.
Most of us want the power. Maybe a raise, nice weather, some relief for the lower back. And that's human. But Moses shows us there's a better ask.
