Standing On Holy Ground

God is a mystery both terrifying and appealing. When people of God came into His presence, there was an overwhelming sense of fear. When Moses heard the voice of God at the burning bush, he “hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.” (Exodus 3:6) And so it took time for Moses to grow in his relationship with God. The fear you read about in Exodus 3 is transformed into an awareness of God’s presence to the point that Moses requested, “Show me your Glory.” (Exodus 33:18) May we be more awestruck and transformed when we come into God’s presence.
