face to face


Numbers 3:3&8 "(Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)... With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord."

More humble than anyone else on the face of the earth. Holy cow - what kind of character building does it take to be a walking example of any fruit of the spirit MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE on the face of the earth?? I know I have some serious work to do - or some serious heart surgery to let God do!? Still struggling with the whole my part vs. his part concept??

Is there a tie between these 2 verses?? Did God bless Moses with the incredible, outrageous-ness of speaking to him face to face BECAUSE of Moses' humility? I mean, I'm sure it played a part (just needing to be humble to BE in God's presence) but as it pertains to my life, if I grow in humility does the way, the clarity, the frequency of my hearing from God grow too??

I want to grow in humility - regardless of what blessings it may or may not bring. I want to know the outrageous-ness of God speaking to me FACE TO FACE whether it is directly proportionate to my growth or not!!!

Could you please grab the scalpel and the band-aids, Lord!?
