“He [the Lord] made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel” (Psalm 103:7).
Here we find what David said about Moses, by inspiration. There is a difference in knowing what someone does, and knowing why they did it. The children of Israel saw all the wonderful works of the Lord—His power in delivering them from Pharaoh’s cruelty, His way of providing food for them in the wilderness, His way of bringing water out of the rock, and many other things. But Moses knew the Lord as a friend, and One whom he knew “face to face” (Deuteronomy 34:10). It is a wonderful thing to know the Lord in this way, and it is worth all the wealth and power in this world. You and I can know the Lord in this way too, for in this time of God’s grace we are in a much closer position to the Lord than even Moses. We know God as our Father, and we are united to His Son Jesus Christ as His bride.
Let us not spoil that wonderful relationship by going after the things of this world, and neglecting the wonderful privilege of knowing the Lord in an intimate way.
