There is a precious book full of golden nuggets. I return to the book to read and listen to the audio version–Gentle and Lowly by Ortlund. Ortlund discussed the verses in Exodus when Moses wanted reassurance of God’s glory and acceptance (Exodus 33). Most notably, God placed Moses in the cleft of the rock and covered him with His hand. And, then,
“I will cause all My goodness to pass before you,” the LORD replied, “and I will proclaim My name—the LORD—in your presence.” Exodus 33: 19
To reassure God showed “all His goodness.” Of all the things God could have shown him or allowed him to experience, He wanted Moses to be overwhelmed by God’s goodness. Alone with God, in quiet solitude, God had his complete attention.
When I’m quiet enough, I sometimes spend too much time thinking about all the things that need healing or restoration. I pondered how beautiful it would be to just rest your mind and be open to the covering of God in the quiet. To experience all of His goodness.
In my prayer time and worship, God reminded me of a song. It was a twist and turn of selecting songs and singing. I was overwhelmed by His goodness as I remembered my husband singing this song on mission trips and outreach opportunities. In my prayers, I saw a vision and spoke to the Lord about the message’s why and what. I hesitated to call my friend. It had to do with her child. It was the goodness of God displayed. She responded that God had given her the same vision many years ago and was confirming the goodness again.
His goodness. Expressed in our prayers, worship, and daily activities, and confirmed repeatedly.
I pray His goodness will cover you today. I pray that you experience His hand covering you and placing you in a quiet space to heal and listen.
