I shared yesterday how I really enjoy the song “I Know A Man Who Can” by Greater Vision. Chris Alman does a slam dunk job singing the song. You can see a video of the song here. Let’s continue on with our thought.
“I Know A Man Who Can” – hide the battered.
I have really enjoyed reading through my Bible this year. Moses really jumped off the page to me. As I was thinking about our thought for today I again thought of Moses. Look at how many times the children of Israel were a thorn in his flesh. They wanted to stone him. They wanted to go back to Egyptian bondage. They were a leader’s great nightmare, truthfully.
Moses had a heart for God and His people. In Exodus 32:32 Moses tells God if He will not forgive these people then to blot his name (Moses’) out of His (God’s book). Wow!
Moses had one thing that he deeply desired. He wanted to see God. Because no man can see God face to face and live, Moses was allowed to be placed by God into the “clift of the rock” and God passed by him. This would allow Moses to see God’s backside. Look at Exodus 33:22, “And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:”
Friend, God has a place that He can put you when life caves in on you. He has placed you in His hand and the Father’s hand (John 10:28-29). So, when you are battered by life just run to the LORD and let Him hid you in the clift of the Rock. This Rock is Jesus.
So, how are you doing?
