hues and colors. But in one place there was a piece of cardboard that had been inserted into the broken stained glass. Dr. Ford said that filling in for Billy Graham was like being that piece of cardboard inserted in the beautiful stained glass. An elderly lady met him at the back of the cathedral and said, 'Dr. Ford, you may not have been a stained glass, but you certainly were a pane!' This morning we being a 6 week series on God's glory. God's glory in prayer: three messages from the Old Testament and three messages from the New Testament. We sang earlier the Welsh hymn by Walter C. Smith 'Immortal, invisible, God only wise.' Smith, a Free Church of Scotland hymnist, poet and minister understood the splendor of God's glory. 'In light inaccessible, hid from our eyes. Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days. Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise. To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small. In all life Thou livest the true life of all. We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, and wither and perish-- but naught changeth Thee.' Moses was there. Moses could've written those words of our hymn because of the similarity of the high fresh air peaks of theology, but in Moses' case he lived it. When we sang, 'All laud we would render; O help us to see, 'tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee,' it is in Exodus 33 Moses experiences it. And all in the chapter before, Moses as a leader implored the Lord on behalf of his people so much so that in chapter 32 verse 10 God actually said, 'Leave me alone.' Then the people made a golden calf and Moses' anger burned hot. He asked the question, 'Who is on the Lord's side?' Not 'Are you republican or democrat?' No, 'Who is on the Lord's side?' Not Vols vs Florida. Not Memphis vs Ole Miss. Not Alabama vs Auburn. Not Duke vs. UNC. Who is on the Lord's side? After the Lord repaid them with a plague, Moses still intervened. In Exodus 33 verse 12, Moses asks, 'Who will you send with us?' The Lord says His Presence. He is essentially saying, 'I am going to go with you.' Where? Into the land of Canaan, but Moses wanted more. It raises an interesting challenge. Moses was hungry for more. Caught between the holiness of God and his love for the people, Moses wanted more. He wanted to know more about this God who promised to be with them. Moses, how much more do you really want? I mean, God called you at the burning bush. He's a calling God. He directed you to Pharaoh to release the bound, brick- laying slaves. He's a liberating God. God performed ten different miracles to astound Pharaoh. He's a miraculous God. God parted the Red Sea so the Israelites could walk on dry riverbed, but only to drown the mud-dragging, chariot riding Egyptian army. He's a protecting God. God provided manna in the wilderness. He's a providing God. He brought forth water from the rock. He's a thirst -quenching God. He called Moses into the Shekinah Glory to give him the ten commandments of the law, but still it was the time to ask for more. How easily we forget the way God has provided for us in the past. How easy is it for us to want more without acknowledging all that he has done for us. The fact that he's been there when he called us, he's been there when he liberated us, he's been there when he's performed miracles, when he has protected us, he's been there when he's provided for us. But notice in the passage, God never rebukes Moses for asking for more. In fact Jesus said, 'Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness.' Our prayers should be for more. We should pray for more. If somebody were to walk out from here as ask you, 'What did he preach on?' I hope you would say, 'He preached about my life.' Because what I am really preaching on is everything that is happening in your life right now. We will get to a better definition in a moment, but everything I am going to preach on is going to impact and to affect because God impacts and
