When I see the Lord
Ever sing the old song, “Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face. There to sing forever, of His saving grace”? Though we sang it with fervor and enthusiasm I don’t know if any really expected to see Him before the resurrection. After all the Scripture says that you cannot look on Him in all of His raw power and glory and live. However, that did not keep some in times past from seeking just a glimpse of God. Moses was hidden in a crevice of the rock and allowed to see the passing of God. I am not sure what he saw, but some think he received a revelation of the history of the works of God in creation so that he was able to write the book of beginnings, Genesis.
Other prophets and seekers have had various encounters with Deity. Did they see Him, or just a manifestation of His power? Was it an angel, or a temporary appearance of God on earth, a theophany?
For many, whatever they experienced, it was life changing. There were consecrations and commitments made in the presence of the Almighty. Some became prophets of God. Others followed a new direction of life purpose. Whatever the outcome, you can never be the same when you see the Lord. Get a good look of His power and glory and let it guide your steps in a new direction.
