Morning: The sermon, "Unless He Goes Us," focused on Exodus 33:15-20. In this passage, we are reminded that life without God is pointless. Moses is seeking God's continual presence and he gives an example of how to live in God presence.
1. Cling to God. We must seek God. We do not seek him because he is lost, we seek him because we have lost our way to him. We must wait upon the Lord. We need to think before we leap. We must also remind ourselves (daily) that we don't deserve to live in God's presence. Living in his presence is a gift. If we are to follow him, we need him to teach us his ways. As seek to walk in faith, we must be careful not to presume on God's grace.
2. Rest in his grace. God answers the prayers of his people. Not every answer is a yes, but God hears his people when they pray and delights in answering. God is pleased with his people when they live by faith. How did Moses please God? He loved God and he loved other people. God also know your name. He knows who you are, and he wants you to know him.
3. Pursue God's Glory. Moses wanted to see God glorified. He wanted to know God in fullness of his perfection. We need to pursue God's glory.
Life is meaningless apart from God. We are called to live, but it is pointless unless he goes with us.
