To Hear His Voice

When Moses entered the Tent of Meeting to speak with the Lord, he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the atonement cover on the ark of the Testimony. And he spoke with him. (Num 7:89)

There have been a handful of occasions when people heard the audible voice of God, but for the most part it is quite rare (the baptism of Jesus, the Mount of Transfiguration, Paul on the Damascus road). But Moses was accustomed to going into the Tent of Meeting and having conversations with God! How precious must those times have been. Did Moses ever begin to take them for granted? His access to God was extraordinary. Ours is, too, because the Holy Spirit now lives in us; but how wonderful it would be to hear his voice! Someday, I know, we will.
