Exodus 33:13

“Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” – Exodus 33:13

This verse reveals the transformation taking place in Moses’ heart.

He was constantly exposed to God’s presence—

And God is a consuming fire.

His presence began to consume Moses.

As Moses walked more closely with God,

He was drawn deeply into His presence…

Until God’s presence became part of who he was.

Moses’ desires began to change.

His focus shifted.

He became desperate to align his heart with God’s.

Desperate for an intimate and deeper relationship with Him.

He set his heart to know God’s ways.

Because to truly find favor with God is to know His ways.

And to know His ways is to know Him.

No one walks with Jesus and stays the same.

The more we spend time with Him,

The more His presence begins to consume us.

Our desires change.

Our focus shifts.

We no longer seek God for what He can do for us.

We’re simply drawn to be with Him,

To know Him.

And as we remain in His presence,

We are slowly transformed to be like Him.

And it becomes easier to walk in a way that is well-pleasing to Him.

---

When your prayers begin to sound like this…

You’re no longer seeking God for what He can do for you,

Or what you can do for Him.

You seek Him simply to know Him.

That’s the heart of a child

Desiring a real relationship with their Father.
