It’s easy to overlook ordinary, everyday displays of God’s glory. 

There are certain prayers in Scripture that so perfectly capture the cry of one’s heart that they are worth repeating. I often pray “I believe, help my unbelief” because it perfectly communicates both my faith and lack thereof. One such prayer that has been on repeat for me since I read it as a high school student comes from Moses: “Please show me your glory.”

After Moses prayed this prayer, the Lord allowed his glory to pass by and Moses saw a glimpse (Exodus 33). I can’t find words to better express my desire that God would reveal himself in such a way! Oh, that he would pass by while I wait for him in the cleft of the rock!
