Moses had a disposition like many of us today, so there was only one way for him to stay in victory. He continually communed with the Lord. “So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend” (Exodus 33:11, NKJV). I believe the secret to holiness is very simple: Stay close to Jesus! Keep looking into his face until you become like the image you behold.
“But you are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel” (Psalm 22:3). The Lord makes his dwelling with his people who are worshipping; and where the Lord is, victory follows.
Christ says, “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out” (John 6:37) and “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
Don’t be afraid of failure. Keep going in spite of it. Worship God until victory comes! This may sound like an oversimplification, but the way past failure actually is simple.
The Return
Good until the last paragraph.
Worship with the goal of getting something for ourselves is not worship.
Worship is adoring Him for who He is with no self-interest whatsoever......or it is not worship.
I agree.
Thre is too much mentality of doing things to get something from God, as if our actions are a key to unlock the desired thing.
