DRAW NEAR: PASSION FOR HIS
PRESENCE
Believers of any age can be divided into two
groups:
►those who seek God for what He can DO for
them
►those who seek God for WHO He is.
I. ISRAEL’SEXAMPLE
Exodus 14:11-12 “Because there were now graves in Egypt,
have you taken us away to die in the
wilderness? Why have
you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of
Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us
alone that we may
serve the Egyptians?’ For it would have been
better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we
should die in the wilderness.”
Exodus 16:3 “Oh, that we had died by the
hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat
and when we ate
bread to the full! For you have brought us
out into this wilderness to kill this whole
assembly with hunger.
II. MOSES’ EXAMPLE
Exodus 33:1-3- “Now that you have brought
these people out of Egypt, lead them to the
land I solemnly promised Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. I told them long ago that I
would give this land to their descendants. And I will send an angel before
you to drive out the
Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,
Hivites and Jebusites. Theirs is a land flowing
with milk and honey. But
I will not travel along with you, for you are a
stubborn, unruly people. If I did, I would be
tempted to destroy you along the way.”
Exodus 33:15-16- “If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me
and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
III. TO DRAW NEAR TO GOD WE MUST BE
LIKE MOSES.
Psalm 100:5“For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.”
