Face To Face

The remainder of Exodus 32 tells us how the LORD was ready to consume them in his wrath over what they had done, in making the golden calf to worship.  Apparently, they were partying like they "had it going on" when Moses came down the mountain.  Moses got so mad he threw the tablets with the commandments at the bottom of the mountain and broke them.  He did, however, intercede for the people; and, the LORD relented and didn't destroy them.  Instead, He sent a plague on them. 

 (Exodus 33:7-11)  The next really cool thing we discover is how the LORD came to meet Moses and talk with him face to face, "as a man speaks to his friend."  That lets us know how humble the LORD is.   It's confirmation to us that we can go boldly to the throne of Grace. (Heb. 4:16) (Eph. 3:12)  It's also confirmation to us of the LORD's desire for personal and intimate relationship with us.  He doesn't hold us at arm's length.  He wraps His arms around us and draws us near. (Deut. 32:10-11) (Deut. 33:13, 27)  (Luke 13:34) (Matt. 8:2-3) (Mark 1:40-41) (Psalm 17:8) (Psalm 91:4) (Psalm 139:5) *Actually, the entire Psalm is awesome!  Finally, in Jeremiah, we get a very clear picture of the LORD's awesome love for us.   

When I read this passage of scripture, I remembered how formal I was in the early days.  Nowadays things are very different.  I know the LORD has a senses of humor.  Just ask some of those little birdies out there.  There's one who's still laughing at me.  And, so is the LORD; I just know it.  I know that the LORD hears me when I'm "just sayin."  I've whispered, "Oh, Lord, please make the wind stop for a minute until I get this folded up;" and the wind stopped until I got that folded up.  One morning, it was almost as if the wind was helping me to fold my tarp up.    

What's the point of this message?  Run BOLDLY to the throne of Grace!  God loves you!  God wants to be in your life!  And, not to catch you messing up; but, to walk with you, talk with you, and help you win in this world.  Don't be afraid to talk to Him face to face, as a man/woman talks to his/her friend.

Love you from Café du Mondieu
