Drawing Near to Darkness
The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick
darkness where God was.
Exodus 20:21
Like the nation of Israel, we are each called to the mountain of God,
but few are willing to pass through the darkness to get there. God
wanted to reveal His glory to the children of Israel, but they were
afraid to enter into His presence. They only wanted to know about God,
rather than know him personally like Moses did. This grieved the heart
of God.
Why wouldn't the people of Israel risk entering the darkness if it meant
being in the presence of God? What did the people fear?
Perhaps they had fears like each of us. The fear of the unknown. The
fear of what might happen. The fear that God might not like what He
sees. Or, perhaps even the greatest fear: the fear of darkness itself
and what lies behind that darkness.
Many of us have been satisfied to hear about God from God's messengers.
But there is a greater calling for each of us�a calling to enter into
His presence. Sometimes entering into His presence means we enter
through an unexpected door�a door that appears to have nothing good
behind it.
We do not need to fear entering the presence of God even if it means
entering through a period of darkness. Above all else we must believe
that God is a God of love. If He calls us into darkness in order to
enter His presence, then that darkness will become an entry to new
levels of relationship with a God who longs for fellowship with you and
me.
