Exodus 24

During this early part of the history of Israel, there are a lot of accounts of God revealing himself to His people - and this chapter has one of the most vivid descriptions of that yet. Seventy of their leaders, along with Moses, Aaron, and his sons, "saw the God of Israel" (verse 10, NET) and all of the people saw God's presence "like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in plain view" (verse 17). I think I mentioned this a few posts ago, but I cannot wait to get such a glimpse of the Lord; it is a great comfort and joy to know that is awaiting me someday.
