Show Me Thy Glory

Q: What does the Bible say about God's glory?

The Bible reveals God's glory primarily through His mercy and grace, especially as seen in the redemption through Christ. God's glory is a central theme in Scripture, most profoundly expressed in His redemptive nature. In Exodus 33:18-19, Moses seeks God's glory, and God responds by proclaiming His name and highlighting His attributes of mercy and grace. The chief glory of God is not merely in His creative power or providential governance but in His act of being merciful and gracious to sinners. This is reflected in Ephesians 2:6-7, where God's intention is to showcase His grace in the ages to come through Christ Jesus, emphasizing that true understanding of God's glory culminates at the cross.

Q: Why is God's grace important for Christians?

God's grace is vital as it is the basis for salvation and communion with Him, enabling Christians to know Him intimately. Grace is foundational in the life of a Christian, as it is through grace that we are saved, called, and sustain our relationship with God. Moses, in Exodus 33:13, directly appeals to God's grace as the basis for his desire to know God's way. It highlights that no one can approach God based on their worthiness or knowledge; rather, it is by grace alone that we find favor with Him. Romans 11:5 speaks of a remnant chosen by grace, emphasizing that our election and salvation rest solely on God's free and unmerited favor, underscoring grace as essential for our identity as children of God.

Q: How do we know God personally?

We come to know God personally through Jesus Christ, who reveals the Father to us. Personal knowledge of God is intricately connected to our relationship with Jesus Christ. In John 14:6-7, Jesus states that He is the way to the Father, indicating that to truly know God, one must know Christ. This theological truth underlines that an intimate relationship with God is not based on religious practices or knowledge of doctrines but through a personal encounter with Jesus. As believers, our understanding of God deepens as we engage with Christ, who embodies the fullness of God’s nature, including His love, righteousness, and grace toward sinners.

I have a great deal of concern
about this particular message. As I prepared the message, it
was such a blessing to me. I needed it desperately, and
God did anoint it to my prophet, gave me a great revival of heart
and spirit in reading this passage. And I tremble at the prospect
of your not getting the same blessing. I want so desperately
to convey to you what I see here. I hope you'll be much in prayer
for me and for yourselves that God will make this passage of
Scripture so precious to you. and a time of real communion
and fellowship with him, that we might enter into these requests
which Moses laid at the feet of our Lord. Now Moses had a
tent. This was not the tabernacle,
this was not the holy place and the holy of holies separated
by the veil, but Moses had a tent, his own private tent. We read
about that in verse 7 through 9, that he pitched far off from
the camp, without the He called it the Tent of Meeting. He'd
go out there and meet with God. And when they'd see Moses, he
probably didn't dwell there all the time. It was called the Tent
of Meeting and talked about Moses going out to the tent and coming
back and going out and coming back. Evidently it was a special
tent, a special tabernacle of the congregation. If any man
had a problem, any man had a desire to seek God's mercy and God's
forgiveness. He went to that tent with Moses
and met with God. And when Moses would go out to
this particular tent, the people would all rise and they would
stand, every man with his family, in the door of their own tents
and watch Moses go out. And when he went inside the tent
and closed the flap, they'd go on about their business. They
knew that Moses was meeting with God. And the pillar would come
down, the pillar of cloud would descend from heaven and rest
on that place while Moses was meeting with the Lord. Well,
on this particular day, this was a very special day, and Moses
had gone out to the tent of meeting, the tabernacle of the congregation.
And the pillar had descended upon that tent of meeting and
Moses talking with God. The scripture says here, verse
11, And the Lord spake to Moses, Doesn't this make your heart
just beat faster and doesn't it thrill you? God spake to Moses
face-to-face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. God communicated
with Moses face-to-face as a man speaks to his friend. And on
this particular day, Moses was extremely troubled and he presented
a three-fold request before the Lord. Now, as we look into this,
this is not just a historical account of Moses dealing with
God or God's dealing with Moses. If that's all we get out of it,
we've missed it. When we're reading any part of
the Scripture, when we're reading the Psalms, make them your own.
When you're reading these types and these examples in the Old
Testament, make them your own. Become Moses. You're a child
of God. You're one of his sons. You're
one of his people. If God spoke face to face with Moses, why
not with me? If God spoke to Moses as with
his friend, why not to me? If Moses needed these things,
I need them. And enter into these things.
This is one of the problems with Sunday schools and Bible schools
and sermons and everything else. It's just not part of us. It's far off from us. It's something
we read about somebody else, and we say, wasn't that wonderful,
or isn't that great, or isn't that marvelous, or what a mystery.
But that's no good if we're not involved, if we're not part of
it, if it doesn't become our own. Now, Moses made three requests
of God. First of all, in verse 13. Now,
therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, here's
the first request, show me now thy way. that I may know thee."
Moses speaking to the Lord God, his Lord, his God, his Father,
his Redeemer. And he says, if I've found grace
in thy sight, show me thy way that I may know thee. Moses had
walked with God for ninety years. And here he is talking about,
show me thy way that I may know thee. The Apostle Paul Wrote
13 of the 27 books in the New Testament, 13 or 14 of them.
Founded churches all over the then known world. Was inspired
of God to be his vessel, his apostle to the Gentiles. And
yet we hear him crying, O that I may know thee, and the power
of thy resurrection. We're such proud creatures in
this day. We're so steeped in our religion,
our religious profession. We're so theologically sound.
We're so denominationally proud. Would any of us find ourselves
at the feet of the Lord, crying, Lord, show me thy way that I
may know thee? I know God. Are you saved? Yes, I'm saved. I walk with God. He hears me when I pray. Here's
Moses, 90 years old, crying, Lord, And he bases it on the
right foundation. He starts at the right place.
He begins this request at the right place. He says, now therefore,
watch this, verse 13, if I have found grace in thy sight, show
me thy way. This is where it all begins.
This is where it all begins. You needn't come to God on any
other ground. Moses didn't say, now Lord, I
left Egypt I gave up all that stuff down there. You know, Lord,
I was famous in Egypt, and I gave it up. And Lord, I'd been to
the best schools. I had the best education. I was in line for
the throne. I detest to hear these Hollywood
stars and famous athletes and famous persons, what they could
have been, but they gave it up for Jesus. They gave it up for
Jesus. I could have been governor, but
I became a preacher instead. I could have been a famous singer,
but I gave my talents to the Lord, and I sang the gospel in
little country churches. Moses didn't base this request
on that. He didn't say, Lord, I could
have been this in Egypt, and I could have been that, and I
could have been a ruler, and I had the best education, and
I was somebody down there, but Lord, you know how I left Egypt,
and I went out in the wilderness, and I tended to the sheep, and
I waited upon you. No, sir, he didn't. He says,
Lord, if I have found grace in thy sight, if I have found grace."
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. That's what it says
in Genesis 6, 8. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. It wasn't
because Noah was the most righteous man that he built that ark. It
wasn't because Noah was the most talented man that God saved him
and his household. It wasn't because Noah was the
most faithful man. It was because Noah found grace
in the eyes of the Lord. Genesis 19, 18 through 19, Lot
cried O my Lord, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight,
and thou hast saved my life." Judges 6, 17, Gideon prayed,
Lord, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me a sign that
you speak. Acts 15.11, Peter said, We believe
through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved.
Paul, 1 Corinthians 15.10, By the grace of God I am what I
am. This is where it starts. You
want to know His way? You want to know Him? You don't
plead your worthiness. You don't plead your righteousness.
You don't plead your faithfulness. You don't plead your religion.
You plead His grace. Lord, if I have found grace in
Thy sight, show me Thy way. Show me Thy way, that I may know
Thee. It was His grace that chose us. It's called the election of grace. The election of grace. There's
a remnant according to the election of grace. That's what the scripture
says. Jacob have a love, but Esau have a hated. That the purpose
of God according to the election of grace might stand. It was
based on grace. Not foreseen righteousness, not
foreseen faithfulness. It was based on grace and grace
alone. Unmerited favor, undeserved favor. That's what it's all based on.
It was His grace that redeemed us. The Scripture says, "...in
whom we have redemption through His blood according to the riches
of His grace." It was His grace that called
us. God who separated me from my mother's womb and called me
by His grace and revealed His Son in me. It's grace that supplies
our need. God said, My grace is sufficient. It'll be grace glorified in the
resurrection that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding
riches of his grace toward us in Christ Jesus. That's the foundation
of this whole thing. Amazing grace, how sweet to sound,
that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm
found. I was blind, were you? But now
I see. It was grace that taught my heart
to fear. It was grace my fears relieved. How precious did His grace appear
the hour I first believed. You can't make too much of this
word grace. That's what Moses said here.
Lord, now, if I have found grace in Thy sight, it's not what I've
given. It's not what I've done. It's
not what I'll ever do. It's not because of who I am.
It's because of thy free grace. God could have passed you by.
God could have let you alone. God Almighty could have left
you in your darkness and in your sin and in your rebellion, but
by his grace he was pleased to call you. Now he says, if I have
found grace in thy sight, here's the request, show me thy way. There is a way that seemeth right
unto men. The end of that way is destruction. There is a broad road that leads
to death, but there is God's way. What is God's way? Turn to John chapter 14, verse
6 through 10. Here is God's way, and I believe
this is what God showed to Moses. In John chapter 14, look at it,
beginning with verse 6, John 14, beginning with verse 6, and
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh
to the Father but by me. If you had known me, you should
have known my Father also, and from henceforth you know him
and have seen him. And Philip said, Well, show us the Father.
Show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. And Jesus said, Have I been
so long time with you, and yet you have not known me, Philip?
He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. How sayest thou then,
Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am
in the Father, and the Father in me? I am the way. Moses said,
Lord, show me your way, that I may know thee. You can't know
God except as you know Christ. I believe Moses, and I can't
prove this, but this is what I believe. And when I get to
the last point, I think you're going to see this. I believe
Moses got a pre-incarnation glimpse of Christ the Savior. I believe
Moses got a pre-incarnation glimpse of the Savior. You know, the
Savior said, No man knoweth the Father save the Son, and he to
whom the Son will reveal him. Come to Christ and you come to
God. Learn of Christ and you learn God. Worship Christ and
you worship God. He is the way. Show me thy way
that I may know thee. I want to show you a verse of
Scripture in John 17. And I want you to look at this
carefully. John 17, verse 3. Watch this very carefully. Now,
we want a definition of eternal life. What is eternal life? What is salvation? What is this
God life? What is this divine nature? What
is this life that comes as a result of the new birth? Is it a way
of reformation? Is it a way of religion? Is it
a way of rules? Is it a way of law? What is it? John 17, 3. And this is life
eternal. Now this is not some denominational
preacher talking here, this is the Master. And this is the Master
praying in His intercessory prayer as the great high priest before
the throne of His Father. And this is life eternal, that
they might know Thee, the only true God. Isn't that Moses' request? That I may know Thee. Show me
Thy way that I may know Thee. Reveal Thyself to me that I may
know Thee. I don't want to know God as He's
taught to me by some theologian or some or some priest, I want
God to reveal Himself to me. I don't want a second-hand religion,
a second-hand righteousness. I want to know Him. Moses says,
Lord, now if I've found grace, I know I'm not worthy of this,
and I know that I don't deserve it, and I know I haven't earned
it. I know you don't owe it to me in any way, but if I have
found grace, if I am an object of your grace, If you're not
pleased to leave me in my darkness and in my sin, if you're not
pleased to pass me by, this is the basis on which I base this
plea. This is the foundation. If I
have found grace, if I'm an object of your grace, show me yourself that I may know
thee. Show me your way that I may know
thee. Not the ways of religion or the ways of man or the ways
of theology or the ways of the creeds and catechism. Show me
your way. I want to know God. For Christ
said this is eternal life to know God. To know God. A man knows God as he comes to
know Christ. And I don't mean the doctrines
of Christ, I mean the person of Christ. A man comes to know
God as he comes to know Christ. I don't mean the laws of Christ,
I mean the person of Christ. I don't mean the teachings of
Christ, the person of Christ. Not the church of Christ, the
person of Christ. Not the doctrines and theology
of Christ, but the person of Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ
reveals the purpose of God to save. Our Lord Jesus Christ reveals
the love of God for sinners. Our Lord Jesus Christ reveals
the wisdom of God in redemption. Our Lord Jesus Christ reveals
the righteousness of God. He is God's righteousness. Our
Lord Jesus Christ reveals the justice of God. In Christ our
God is just and justifier. Our Lord Jesus Christ reveals
the power of God in the resurrection of Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ
reveals the mercy of God in the intercession of Christ. There's
God in Christ, in Christ. Don't approach this thing of
religion as only a study of the right doctrine, but as a pursuit
of a person. My heart, my soul panteth after
thee as a thirsty deer panteth for the water brooks. Don't approach
this thing of a relationship with God in trying to be exact
in your principles and right in your practice. Approach it
as a pursuit of a person, to walk with him. Oh, that I may
know him and the power of his resurrected life, him. You can go to hell from the church
pew. You can go to hell from a position
of law. You can go to hell from a denominational
position, but you cannot perish in Christ. In Christ. Show me thy way. Show me Christ
that I may know thee. That's what it is. That's what
the whole thing, that's the request right there. Show me Christ that
I may know thee. that I may know thee, that I
may find grace in thy sight." Grace is poured from His lips. It's only as you embrace, not
His doctrine, not His church, not His people, but as you embrace
Him and receive from His lips the grace of God. That's where
it is. It's all in Him. It's all in Him. And I fear my
heart trembles that lest we miss Christ. Lest we preach about
Him, and think about Him, and study about Him, and mishear
Him. And mishear Him. Alright, the second request.
And God said, verse 14, My presence will go with thee. I'll give
thee rest. And listen to Moses, verse 15,
And Moses said, Lord, God promised His presence, just like the Lord
Jesus promised us His presence. He said, Lo, I'm with you always,
even to the end of the earth. He said, I'll never leave you.
I'll never forsake you, so that we may boldly say, the Lord is
my helper. But Moses couldn't help but express
himself this way. And I hope you and I can say
this right here from our heart. Lord, he said, verse 15, if you
don't go with us, don't let us go. Don't let us go. You reckon we could ever come
to that place? That you can sit in your home, I can sit in my
study, we can go down to our place in the jail where you work,
and Charlie and the meat market, and you fellas can get there,
and as you plan your day, as you plan your future, as you
plan next week, as you plan your vacation, as you plan your trips,
as you plan your families, as you plan these things. If you
don't go with me, don't let me go. Don't let me go. God said my
presence will be with you. Moses knew that. He knew God's
presence was with him. But he couldn't help but add
this. If you don't go, if you're not with me, don't let me go. Because I tell you this, the
wilderness journey through life would be impossible without his
presence. It's difficult. Paul, with that
thorn in the flesh, I don't know what it was, you don't either,
nobody else does. Paul knew. It was a messenger
of Satan, it was sent to buffet him. It was in God's permissive
will, but he prayed three times about it. And he said, Lord,
take it away, and the Lord came back and said, Paul, my grace
is sufficient for you. His grace is sufficient, I don't
care how severe the trial. I don't care how severe it is. Let it come. I don't care how
deep and dark the sorrow. I don't care how long the sickness.
I don't care how severe the trial. If He's with us, He'll make it
a road of velvet and a bed of roses. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He maketh me
to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still
waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake. My cup runneth over. Surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And His
goodness and His mercy is in affliction. Sometimes the Lord's
chief goodness is in the greatest affliction. Sometimes we find
His greatest mercy in the greatest trial. Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life. Though I walk through
this valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil." Why? Thou art with me. I'll tell you
this, if he's not with me, I don't want to go. I don't want to go
if he's not with me. And I don't want to go to heaven
if he's not there. That's right. Old Moses said, this is what
Moses said, This is just prior to that long journey to the land
of rest, milk and honey. That's right. The land of Canaan. And Moses said, Lord, we go through
that dark wilderness. If you don't go with us, don't
let us go. And Lord, I know you've promised
to cast out the Hittites and the Amorites and the Philistines
and the Canaanites and all those people in the land of rest and
give us that land as our inheritance. Watch it now. If you don't go
with us, I don't want to go." That's exactly what he said.
I don't even want to go. Paul said, I have a desire to
depart and be with Christ. Would you like to see the Lord
today? Would you like to be with Him today? Would you like to
be where He is today, to be absent from this body and to be present
with the Lord? It matters not where we are. It matters not
what we have. It matters not who we're with.
If he's not there, I don't want to be there. I wish we could say that. Can
you? Can we? Lord, I don't want to go if you
don't go with me. It doesn't matter where I am
or what I have or who I'm with if you're not with me. And watch
verse 16, Cecil Watson, this is a blessing, this will thrill
you, this is what he says, for he says in verse 16, For wherein
shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in
thy sight? Is it not that you are with us? That's what reveals
that we have grace, He's with us. Go on. That's what distinguishes us.
That's what separates us from the people of this world and
all the people upon the face of the earth. What is it? It's
not our rigidness. It's not our long faces. It's
not our over-piety. It's not our denomination. It's
not the way we're baptized. It's God's with us! You see that? I'll tell you,
if that doesn't bless you, you just give up. You can't be blessed.
That's right. If you don't go with us, don't
let us go. For, Lord, this, this is the
way that we know we have found grace in your sight, is you're
with us. And, Lord, this is what distinguishes
us from the peoples of this earth. It's not how long our hair is,
or how long our sleeves are, or how black our clothes are,
or how blanched our faces are, or how wide our broad brims are,
it's YOU'RE WITH US! That's the key. Because YOU'RE with us. All right, the third request.
You see how great this is? Moses out there in the tent of
meeting, God speaking to him face to face. And this man makes
three requests. I think greater than the request
of Solomon. I know Solomon's was a humble
request, but it had a little self in it too. He said, if you
want me to govern these people, give me wisdom. And God gave
him everything. But Moses, the man of God, meets
in the tent. He says, now Lord, if I have
found grace in thy sight, if I'm an object of your grace,
Show me your way that I may know thee, that Moses may know the
Lord. And Lord, if you don't go with me, if I don't have your
presence, if you don't walk with me, I don't want to go. I don't
care where it is, I don't care with whom it is, I don't care
what the prospects are. If you don't go, I don't want
to go. And then the third request, and Moses said, verse 17, verse
18, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. God said, Moses, you found grace
in my sight, verse 17, I know you by name. Moses said, Lord,
if you know me by name, if I'm really yours. You see, these
fellows didn't talk about what they had done. I know I'm a Christian
because I joined the church. I know I'm going to heaven because
I made a profession. I know my name's in the book
of life because I accepted Jesus. I've been faithful all my life."
That's not what he said. If I've found grace in your sight,
if you know me by name, not if I know your name, if you know
my name, Christ said, my sheep hear my voice, I know them. I know them. Oh, they said, the
Pharisees said, we know God. Christ said, you neither know
me nor my Father. At the judgment, a whole crowd
of people stood before him and said, Lord, we cast out devils. Lord, we taught Sunday school
classes. Lord, we built monuments to your
glory. Lord, we did many wonderful works.
I never knew you. I never knew you. I beseech thee, show me thy glory."
Now, the things that Moses had seen were sufficient to satisfy
the average person for many lifetimes. If we'd seen that burning bush,
we'd still been talking about it, and probably that's all we
would have talked about. If we'd seen the plagues in Egypt,
that's what we'd been talking about and we'd still be talking
about. I hear people talk about, preachers talk about great services
they had years ago when they saw great results and somebody
healed and all these things. They sit around talking about
these so-called miracles and monumental happenings. If we'd
seen the part he'd see, we'd still be talking about it. If
we'd seen the giving of the law, oh, when God wrote in the tables
of stone His holy law with His own finger, if we'd lived 10,000
years, that's what we'd have gathered our great, great, great,
great, great grandchildren around us and told them about. Moses
saw the manna fall from heaven. Moses saw the water spring from
the rock. But Moses is still crying, Lord,
show me Your glory. I know, he says, there's something
else. I know I have not seen yet the
chief glory of God." That's what Moses is saying. Watch it now, and you think about
this. Moses knew that these visible
miracles and manifestations of power were not God's chief glory. And if these so-called preachers
of today knew it, They'd quit making so much fuss over how
big their buildings are, and how large their Sunday school
classes are, and how many people are healed, and what a marvelous
happening took place if they just knew that Moses knew. He'd
seen things that, gracious alive, if we'd just seen one of them,
let alone all of them, would have lasted a lifetime. But here
he is crying out, I want to know you, I want your presence, and
I want to see your glory. Moses, you saw the burning bush,
I know, that's not his glory. Moses, you saw the death of the
firstborn, I know, but that's not his glory. There's some chief
glory. So God reveals it to him. Look
at verse 19. And God said, I will make all
my goodness, and that is his glory. That's his chief glory. I know, I know, my friends, that
heaven declares the creative glory of God. The heavens declare
the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork. That's
the creative glory of God, and it's marvelous to behold. And then history records the
providential glory of God. I don't question that. All things
live and move and have their being in Him, and by His power
all things consist, but that's still not His chief glory. His
chief glory is His redemptive glory. That's right. And I will make my goodness,
my glory pass before you. I will proclaim the name of the
Lord before you. I will be gracious. Not only wise, but gracious.
Not only holy, but gracious. Not only almighty, but gracious. Not only sovereign, but gracious. Not only eternal, but I will
be gracious. The glory of man is to forgive
a transgression. Did you know that? That's what
Scripture said. Your glory, let me tell you something,
mine too, is not in how tall I am or how big I am. A lot of people, let not the
wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the rich man glory in
his riches, let not the Strong man glory in his strength. That's
not the chief glory even of man. It's not how big you are, how
much money you've got, or how many degrees you've got. It makes
me real nauseous to follow people around and hear them brag. They're
proud, so proud. You know the chief glory of a
man or a woman? Scripture says it's to forgive. That's the big man, that's the
rich man, that's the wise man, that's the strong man. And God
says right here, my chief glory, I'll be merciful. That's right. Look at Exodus 34, twice here
in verse 5. And the Lord descended in the
cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the name of the
Lord. And the Lord passed by before
him and proclaimed the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious,
long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for
thousands, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Have
you seen the chief glory of God? Turn to Ephesians chapter 2,
and I'll let you go. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 6
and 7. Now in heaven, in heaven, God's
going to show off His glory. That's right. That's what we're
going to see, that Christ said that they may be with me and
behold my glory. the glory which I had with thee
before the world was. Let them behold my glory." What
are we going to see? Ephesians 2, verse 6, "...and
he hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might
show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward
us through Christ Jesus." That's what it's all about. Show me
your glory." And a man has not seen the chief glory of God until
he's seen the mercy of God in the cross, in the blood, in the
sacrifice of Christ, in the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. Moses, I'm going to show you
my glory. You're going to get a pre-incarnation
glimpse of my glory. I'm going to be merciful to whom
I will be merciful, and I'm going to be gracious to whom I will
be gracious. Let's make this the threefold
prayer of our hearts right now. Lord, show me your way. Show me your way that I may know
thee. Not the Baptist way, not the Calvinistic way, or the Armenian
way, or the Pelagian way, or the Augustinian way, or some
other way of foolishness. Show me your way. I want to know
you. I want to know you. And Lord,
if your presence doesn't go with me, You know, I've heard of men
getting transferred on their jobs. They're going to get a
bigger job in a bigger town and make more money. And they leave
their church and go there to a place where the gospel's not
preached. I don't believe God's going with them there. I don't
believe it. I don't believe it. I'm willing
to stay where I am if you stay with me. And I don't want to
go anywhere, no matter who with or what's involved or how much
it profits me. If you don't go with me, I'm
not going. And then, Lord, I want to see
your glory, redemptive glory. Our Father in Heaven, we thank
Thee for Thy Word, O the preciousness of Thy Word, how it thrills our
souls because it reveals Christ. We don't worship the Word, we
worship Him who's revealed in the Word, but how glad we are
to read these Things that Thou hast preserved by Thy grace and
by Thy Spirit and given to us that we might know Thee. For
our faith cometh by hearing and hearing by Thy Word. Lord, show
us Thy way that we may know Thee. Let Thy presence go with us,
and if not, don't let us go. Give us the wisdom to wait on
the Lord. And how we long to see Thy glory
each day. The glory of God in the face
of Christ Jesus. For in his name we pray, amen.
