Promise 78 from Exodus 33:9-10
Ex. 33:9-10 - "Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; and the Lord would speak with Moses. When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent." - In an earlier verse it says the people who sought after the Lord would arise and stand at their tent and gaze upon Moses as Moses approached the tent of meeting. They were watching in great anticipation of the coming of the Lord in the cloud as Moses went into the tent to chat with Him. When the people saw the cloud cover the tent the people began to worship. There are times when we need to be chatting with the Lord and other times we need to just worship Him. As long as the Lord was present, the people worshipped. Our fist response when we see the presence of God should be to worship Him. This wasn't a one-off occurrence for God's people, vs. 9 says "whenever Moses entered the tent", God showed up and the people worshipped. That means every single time Moses sought God, God showed up, which means every time the people sought God they saw Him too and they worshipped, every time. When we make worship a priority "every time" we gather in a place where we WANT to see God working, either individually or corporately, God WILL show up!
