(A reflection on Ex 33:7-11, 34:5-9, 28)
The Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a person speaks to a friend (Ex 33:11, NAB).
In today’s scripture, I imagined Moses in intimate conversation with God at the meeting tent outside the camp – their special place. There they hammered out a new covenant and made plans for Israel’s future.
I love my time spent with our Lord in daily mental prayer. But today, like every Tuesday afternoon, I met and adored Jesus in our special place – His Tabernacle in our church’s Blessed Sacrament chapel. There we have our intimate, friendly, face to face conversations. I share what’s on my heart and He shares what His will is for me.
He’s waiting there for you, too.
“Holy Spirit, thank You for opening my heart and mind to the will of God when I spend time with our Lord in prayer. Thank You, Jesus, for being a friend with Whom I can be open and share my most intimate thoughts and concerns. And, thank You for Your loving patience and mercy. Amen.”

It is always comforting to know he is always there, we just need to seek him out.

Hey, Norm, yes, He’s always there. We may stumble across God from time to time even when we’re not looking for Him, but when we seek Him we find Him. That was the message in today’s post Treasure Hunting.
