17 So the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this
thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace
in My sight, and I know you by name.” 18 And he said,
“Please, show me Your glory.” 19 Then He said, “I
will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will
proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be
gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have
compassion on whom I will have compassion.” 20 But
He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see
Me, and live.” 21 And the LORD said, “Here is a place
by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22 So it shall
be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the
cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while
I pass by. 23 Then I will take away My hand, and you
shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.”
(Exodus 33:17-23)
4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the
children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the
LORD commanded, saying: 5 ‘Take from among you an
offering to the LORD. Whoever is of a willing heart, let
him bring it as an offering to the LORD: gold, silver,
and bronze; 6 blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine
linen, and goats’ hair; 7 ram skins dyed red, badger
skins, and acacia wood; 8 oil for the light, and spices
for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 9 onyx
stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the
breastplate.” (Exodus 35:4-9)
Paying God first involves him in your dream, vision, goals
and desires. Establishing His purpose opens the door for you
and I to realize dreams can and will come true.
