Topic: Major on Mercy
…I beseech thee, show me thy glory. – Exodus 33:18
What would you say is the single, most outstanding thing about God? What’s His most important characteristic? Some people would say it’s His power. Others, His holiness. But God Himself would give a different answer.
You can find that answer in Exodus 33. There, Moses is asking God to show him His glory.
The word glory could be translated as “heavyweight.” It refers to the heaviest, most significant, grandest thing about someone. It’s the sum total of their worth.
So what Moses was actually saying was, “Lord, I want to see the weightiest thing about You. I want to know Your grandest attributes.” What did God say to him in response?
Chapter 34:6-7 tells us, “The Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin.”
Just think about that! When Moses asked God to show him the most essential thing about Himself, God showed him His mercy.
That means if you and I are to imitate God (Ephesians 5:1), we must major in mercy too. Mercy, goodness, forgiveness, and compassion must mark our behavior above all else.
Central on mercy, and others will see the glory of God in you.
