The Average Jane Journal #4 - God's Home Movies




Hello friends, today I just want to share a Bible passage that really stuck out to me. Please go read Exodus 33:12-23; in my Bible it is titled Moses and the Glory of the Lord. Just that title lets you know that is going to be way cool. Ok, go read; then come back and read my ramblings.

I love the part where God hid him in a rock and walked by him. Isn’t that cool?! Could you just imagine?? I wished I could have interviewed Moses after that happened. I wonder if that was a moment with God that he pulled from memory when he was lacking strength and needed a little “pick me up”. I can’t imagine nothing would be a better “pick me up” than being close to the Glory of God. I think that is something we strive for everyday, just wanting to see God in our everyday lives. We can also use those moments when we are down and weak, so always write down your special moments with God.

When I read this scripture, I wanted to be in that cleft right alongside Moses. I could picture myself pushing him out of the way to see God’s back first. J

You know how you hear people say “I will ask God that question when I get to Heaven”? Usually, it is something they have pondered on and just quite don’t understand, or maybe it’s a “How did you do that God?” question. Or some people think of different people they want to see when they get to Heaven, whether it is family or someone from the Bible. Well, anyway, when I think of getting to Heaven and seeing God, I think of home movies. You know the actual footage of things happening in the Bible. Don’t you think he has saved those for me?! Surely, he had time to record all that He has done!!(grin)

This moment with Moses would definitely be one of them, just like the night in the manger, resurrection, animals going on ark, creation, crossing of the Red Sea, etc. The list goes on and on. Wouldn’t that be cool!!! Of course when we get new bodies in Heaven, maybe all our questions will just be automatically answered and maybe we will have memories that we didn’t have before. Who knows, but God!!

What would you ask God when you see Him?

If God had home movies, what would you want to see actual footage of; what are some of your favorite Bible moments?

Who do you want to meet in Heaven?

What special moments do you have with God, where you SAW God; moments that strengthen you when you are weak?


Exodus 33:14 The Lord replied “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” YOU GO GOD!!!
