Life-consuming problems need life-consuming solutions

 Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.

Philippians 1:27 NLT

It was Moses’ practice to take the Tent of Meeting and set it up some distance from the camp. Everyone who wanted to make a request of the Lord would go to the Tent of Meeting outside the camp.

Exodus 33:7 NLT

Inside the Tent of Meeting, the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Afterward Moses would return to the camp, but the young man who assisted him, Joshua son of Nun, would remain behind in the Tent of Meeting.

Exodus 33:11 NLT

  • Outside and far in prayer 
  • Everyone who sought the Lord would go out (few respond)
  • Each stand at his tent door (selfish)
  • Pillar of cloud descend (spectators)
  • Cloud vs conversation 
  • Generations moved into the promised land 
  •  - small group of younger people
