Let me know thy ways

I am learning much about obedience these days. Grasping more completely the idea that full obedience comes FIRST, and then God’s glory can be revealed. As Moses conversed with God: “. . .Thou hast said, ‘I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.’ Now therefore, I pray Thee, if I have found favor in Thy sight, LET ME KNOW THY WAYS, that I may KNOW THEE, so that I may find favor in Thy sight. Consider, too, that this nation is Thy people.’ And He said, ‘My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.’ Then he [Moses] said to Him, ‘IF THY PRESENCE DOES NOT GO WITH US, DO NOT LEAD US UP FROM HERE. For how can it be known that I have found favor in Thy sight, I and Thy people? Is it not by Thy going with us, so that we, I and Thy people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are on the face of the earth? . . .. SHOW ME YOUR GLORY!’” Exodus 33:12-18

God’s glory was NOT revealed until Moses acted in full obedience in the completion of the tabernacle.
