We are all a stiff-necked people, aren't we? Praise God that He loves us anyway. While the presence of God is promised to the Israelites--and to us--there are protective limits. Even Moses' longing to see God is answered with protection from the Lord.
Moses places the 'Tabernacle-in-progress outside the camp. The majority of the nation only goes to the 'tent of meeting' - to seek God when they have a problem. Only Joshua and Moses are recorded as going to the tent and spending time with the Lord. It is often the same in the world today, and I truly don't understand it then or now. God is available and present, yet the majority stand afar or draw close only when there are difficulties. God created us for fellowship; He loves us even with our imperfections and He will protect us as we seek Him! Run to Him today--like Moses, let us beg to see His glory!
