Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent. Exodus 33:11 - I love seeing the passion for the Lord that is displayed by Moses in this chapter. Truly Moses was a man that couldn’t get enough of His God. He had spent 40 days on the mountain with the Lord. He would speak with the Lord as a man speaks to a friend. When Moses heard from the Lord that the Lord’s presence would be distant from the people, Moses couldn’t bear that thought and pleaded with the Lord for His presence to be close. If that didn’t happen, Moses didn’t even want the promise land, all he wanted was more of His God. While this heart for the Lord displayed by Moses is beautiful, what we also get to see in this chapter is a result of such a passion for God in someone’s life. Other’s will want God too. Joshua, Moses’ assistant, after seeing the incredible passion for the Lord Moses had, wouldn’t even leave the tent of meeting for he himself wanted more of the Lord too. He never wanted to miss the next opportunity to draw near and hear the voice of then Lord speaking to Moses in the tent. See the effect your life of pursuing Jesus can have on others around you. When you are passionate about Jesus, others will be drawn to Jesus too. Where we can start is examining how much passion for Jesus are people seeing from you? If asked what you are most passionate about in life, would the people around you say Jesus? Let’s make the changes needed to make Jesus the clear passion of our story to everyone that sees us. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3177
