I have been thinking along these lines for the past week: what if we would ask God less to show us his power or to bless us and ask him instead to show us his face?
Moses saw and did many miracles but that was not enough to keep the people he led focused on God. They worshipped after every miracle and wandered away as soon as the awe dimmed. We, are exactly the same.
Moses asked to see God. Look at his prayer, "show me your face" Not more of the spectacular but more of you. I strongly suspect God is not as interested in proving to us the wonders of which He is capable, as much as he is in making us more like him.
It's phenomenal receiving gifts from God's hands but permanent spiritual transformation begins when we "see " his face, a glimpse of who he truly is.
