Always Seeking After God

As you were reading today’s scripture did you catch Moses’ attitude right there at the beginning? I believe that this is the kind of attitude that we as Christians need to keep for every moment, every second, and every opportunity, that ever comes our way in life. After everything that is going on during the Exodus, witnessing God part the Red Sea, the Manna and Quail, getting the water from the rocks, even after the horrible situation with the Golden Calf, Moses is still not satisfied. Look at what he does in 33:7-23. He is like a little kid with a cookie jar. More God, I want more, send us with your presence. Do not send us if you are not going to go with us. More God, I want more, I see you have found favor with me. Teach me YOUR ways, so that I may know YOU more, and continue to find favor with you. More God, I want more, remember that we are YOUR chosen people. After everything that God has done for these people and Moses has the audacity to ask for more? YES!!!! That is the attitude that God wants from us. He longs for us to want to draw closer to him in everything that we do, in every situation of life, in every circumstance. To seek after him in all seasons, not just when we need something, but just for the simple fact that he is God. Moses even goes as far as saying, show me your glory, or in other words, I want to physically see you, Lord. And as you keep reading, God grants his wish. Of course, he doesn’t let him see his face because he is too great and the glory of his face would pretty much kill him, but God permits Moses to see his backside. WOW!! To seek after God so much, and to be granted the opportunity just to see a part of God, is the attitude that God desires for us to have. Makes me put a real good perspective on my walk and how much I am seeking after God. How about you?
