Things to "make" GOD stay with us/visit us repeatedly

1. Quiet Time

  • Moses: Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it at a distance outside the camp. He called it the Tent of Meeting, and anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the Tent of Meeting outside the camp. Then, whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would stand at the entrances to their own tents and watch Moses until he entered the tent. As Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and remain at the entrance, and the LORD would speak with Moses. When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they would stand up and worship, each one at the entrance to his own tent. Thus the LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young assistant Joshua son of Nun would not leave the tent. Exodus 33:7-11 BSB

Moses kept his Quiet Time regularly and kept on having Encounters with GOD.

Remember that this nation is Your people.” And the LORD answered, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:12-14 BSB
