Moses needed to learn again some very important basic truths about God. So the Lord reminded him that what He had promised to do, He would do. He needed to learn anew that the Lord really was aware of his problem; and so the Lord said, “I have remem bered . . .” He needed to be reassured concerning the Lord’s purposes;.and so Lord said, “I will bring you out and I will bring you in.” Moses needed to know his own weakness and utter de pendence upon God; so over and over AT THE APPROACH OF TEMPTATION I see the fiery trial near, But Thou, my God, art still the same. Hell, earth, and sin, I scorn to fear, Divinely armed with Jesus' Name. I have no skill the snare to shun, But Thou, O Christ, my wisdom art! I ever into ruin run, But Thou art greater than my heart. I have no might to oppose the foe, But everlasting strength is Thine, Show me the way that I should go; Show me the path I should decline. Which shall I leave, and which pur sue? Thou only my Adviser be. M y God I know not what to do; But O, mine eyes are fixed on Thee. — John Wesley again the Lord reminded him, “I am the Lord; I will bring you out . . . I will bring you in.” This is the process of renewing that we find in the hallowed and sacred moments of prayer. Have you been denying yourself this? Have you been tossed and blown about by the pressures and frustrations of life? Let us confess the sin of prayerless- ness, of self-will, of an unyielding spir it, and ask God to draw us anew unto Himself.
"H e never fears the face of man who knows the face of God."
