HEAR Journaling - Exodus 33
Highlight – Exodus 33:8-11,20 New Living Translation
8 Whenever Moses went out to the Tent of Meeting, all the people would get up and stand in the entrances of their own tents. They would all watch Moses until he disappeared inside. 9 As he went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and hover at its entrance while the Lord spoke with Moses. 10 When the people saw the cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, they would stand and bow down in front of their own tents. 11 Inside the Tent of Meeting, the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Afterward Moses would return to the camp, but the young man who assisted him, Joshua son of Nun, would remain behind in the Tent of Meeting.
… 20 But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.”
Explain – Moses would meet with God at the Tent of Meeting. The pilar of cloud would stand at the entrance while Moses met with God “face to face”, speaking as one to a friend. This seems to contract verse 20 that says no one may look upon God’s face and live. This is not a contradiction, the reference to speaking “face to face” simply means that God and Moses had a conversation, not that Moses actually looked upon God’s face.
Apply – We are blessed that we too can have a one-on-one conversation, a living relationship with the Lord God. The Lord will communicate in any manner that He wishes, for me it is most often direct mind to mind communication, instantaneous thought from God. What a blessing it is to communicate with my Lord God Creator. You can speak with Him too, seek Him.

Psalm 145:18-19 ESV The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.
Hebrews 4:16 ESV Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Matthew 7:7 ESV “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Ephesians 6:18 ESV Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
Matthew 6:6 ESV
2 Timothy 2:15 ESV
Galatians 2:20 ESV
Respond – Lord, thank You for this wonderful relationship that I share with You. I strive to follow You faithfully and obediently, always forever. Help me Lord to pray to You effectively. I pray that anyone that does not know You will come to a saving revelation and relationship with You, Amen.
