Then the Lord said, "There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen," Exodus 33:21-23


Have you been in this place--this place where the Glory of God passes you and you look to see only His back? When I read this today, I contemplated about what an amazing place this would be, how I wanted so much to visit this place. And yet, something tells me I've been there...

I've seen the passing of God's Glory when...

--each of my children took their first breath of life

--the money to feed my family was just...there.

--my little boy transformed from deathly sick to alive and well.

--a wise old man whipsered truths to my heart that only He could know to speak.

--a scripture spoke to the ailing of my heart.

--the sun greeted a new day and washed away the darkness.

I've been in that cleft of a rock, where God's hand has covered me while He passed by. Sometimes, and only somtimes, I realize...I live in that place, but only forget to notice His passing.
