Promise 65 from Exodus 24:12

Ex. 24:12 - "Now the Lord said to Moses, 'Come to Me on the mountain and remain there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commandment which I have written for their instruction'." - God calls Moses up to the mountain to "remain." The literal word is to "be." I would say most people feel a bit uncomfortable around God. They either do not know how to address Him, so like the Israelites they ask someone else to speak to Him on their behalf (20:19), or they feel afraid or ashamed because of their lifestyle, or sins in their lives. Even Christians struggle with their time with God. They either are timid before Him, because they still feel unworthy, or they only make time to download their intercessory list of names or events on God, or maybe they are stuck in a habit, like I was for years, approaching Him as His servant, His armour bearer or His messenger. God loves to spend time with us, but I believe His preference is for us to leave our agendas at the door. Have you noticed in our western cultures that whenever we get a phone call from someone or someone shows up on our doorstep, the assumption is that they want something. There is always an agenda, simply because we don't clear out our schedule to just "be" with people unless its a holiday. We tend to treat God the same way, He doesn't want our agendas, He invites us before Him to just come and "Be" or "remain" before Him. Then... He will hand us something or give us something. The satisfaction of resting in Him, should be enough for us however.
