“He made know his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel.” (Ps. 103:7, NIV)

The saying goes something like this: There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened.

This verse in Psalm 103 is a similar comparison. When God made known his ways to Moses, he was letting Moses in on the “why.” When Israel saw the deeds of God in action, they know the “what.”

The place of knowing God is found here. We can sit back and be familiar with God and see what happened. Or, we can climb the mountain and BE with God and know why something is happening. We need this place of intimacy with God and it is a lifelong journey cultivated by prayer.
