As I read Psalm 99, I thought about how amazing it is that we have the same kind of position with God that people like Moses, Aaron, and Samuel did. We are priests before him.
When we call on him, he answers. He reveals himself to us, speaks to us, and teaches us his ways.
Oh, we may not see him in a pillar of cloud, but we have something better. We have his Holy Spirit himself dwelling within us.
When we fail, God is forgiving towards us, but he doesn’t ignore our sin. He deals with it. He brings discipline into our lives.
Most amazing of all, this exalted and holy God humbled himself and became a man, taking our sin upon himself at the cross.
It is because of what Jesus did that we can stand before God as his priests and as his beloved children.
Those are pretty awesome things to think about.
