A vision of God's Glory

(October 11) We were in Elevate worshiping and meditating on Exodus 33: 7-23.
This is the passage where Moses leaves the camp to enter the tent of meeting. It was here that here that the Lord would "speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend."

¹⁸ Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”
 ¹⁹ And the LORD said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. ²⁰ But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
 ²¹ Then the LORD said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. ²² When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. ²³ Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”

As we were meditating on it, I asked God to show me Your glory. And I had a vision of me taken to outside the tent of meeting. It was so real, I could feel the warm sand under my feet. I walked into the tent and this marvelous light was flowing all over the room along with this gentle breeze. Then the light disapeared and then I saw Jesus sitting in a chair. I immediatley fell to the ground at his feet and started weeping. Kinda funny, but I remember thinking about the dirt that was getting all over my face and in my hair, but at that point I didnt care about anything. I started kissing his feet and he looked down at me and picked me up and set me in his lap. I rested my head on his chest and could feel his warmth and hear his heart beat. He wrapped his arms around me and just held me. Then I heard God say, "This is my glory." I wrote this in my journel: His glory cannot be contained. His glory wraps himself around me. His glory does not pass by, but is forever with me. His glory sustains me always. His glory shines and flows from within me. Jesus is the ultimate Glory of God! He is everywhere and is in everything. The earth shouts his praises and screams his glory. How thankful am I that I can see him face to face! When I feel like I am unworthy, he picks me up and wraps himself around me. We no longer have to hide in the cleft of the rock.
