36 “Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.”
Exodus 3:6
Moses has been confronted by the sight of a burning bush, a bush ignited by God but not destroyed. Moses is in awe and when God tells him he is standing on holy ground he is cowed down. Moses is in complete reverence to God and knows that he cannot stand before Him because he is a sinful creature and yet God reaches out and seeks conversation with him and to give a new direction for his life.
Likewise The Apostle John and Daniel are cut down and fall in reverence at the feet of God.
“Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.”
Revelation 22:8
“Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.”
Daniel 10:9
All these servants of the Lord bowed down in reverence and awe when they encountered God. Do we also feel the reverence of God when we come to Him or are we dangerously familiar? Let us remember…
“…for our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:29
