Introduction: In Moses was dealing with a difficult situation. The Lord called the peple “stiff necked people” and was angry with them. But Moses continued speaking to God and praying. Moses finally asked God to “show me your glory”. Moses wanted to see God, but instead only saw a small glimpse and it changed him.
We don’t always get exactly what we pray for, but the blessing that God gives us is enough. We should be thankful even in the toughest of times for what God gives us, so when the storms rage we can still look up from the cleft of the rock in which God has hidden us and behold His glory.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
