What a remarkable and awesome description of Moses, in God's own words: he was God's servant, he was faithful, and God chose to speak to him clearly, face to face. Moses saw the form of the Lord. Much can be learnt from a study of Moses life: he was set apart from infancy, was raised in Pharaoh's family, and yet still chose to help his people instead of living as a prince. He underwent suffering, but eventually answered God's call to free His people from Egypt and slavery. Despite his struggles and doubts (he was initially reluctant to be God's spokesperson to Pharaoh), with God's help, he faced the king, and led his people out of Egypt. Moses was not perfect, and in fact, did not enter the Promised Land. Yet he spoke to God, face to face. What an enormous privilege! And one that, through Christ, we share. For through Jesus, we have access to the Father by one Spirit (Ephesians 2:18). We can enter into God's presence with confidence (Hebrews 4:16, 10:19-22), cry out to Him, and He hears our prayers.

Question: How does God's description of Moses impact you? Have you had times in your life when being able to speak to God 'face to face' was life changing?
