Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 22, 2024

Maybe Moses realised that after witnessing so many magnificent miracles, physical and supernatural encounters, and even after seeing God face to face, all of these experiences are only glimpses of God's Glory, but not God's full Glory.

So the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” Exodus 33:17-18 After the burning bush encounter, after witnessing mighty miracles, and after seeing God face to ...read more

Rueben Series
