We will see God as He is, now or later.
“And they will listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, 'The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.' But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand. So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it; after that he will let you go. And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and when you go, you shall not go empty, but each woman shall ask of her neighbor, and any woman who lives in her house, for silver and gold jewelry, and for clothing. You shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians."
Exodus 3: 18-22
Impossible is not a problem for God; it's something in which He specializes. But, unfortunately, we, mankind as a whole, tend to try to reduce all things to the pragmatic. In doing so, we often limit ourselves to ourselves.
If we could put ourselves in the place of Moses and the Jewish people, we would understand how ridiculous this idea that God is outlining is. We would think that Moses, God's mouthpiece, was some radical religious freak who would harm God's reputation by using His name to validate these wild claims. We would be wrong, and God would prove us wrong.
God will use the circumstances of life for good. He will demonstrate Himself to us if we allow Him to do that. If we refuse to see Him as He is, if reality is eclipsed by ourselves, our problems, and our situations, then we will not see Him until this love for selves, our problems, and our situations has destroyed us. Once we are no longer front and center, we will see Him.
We will see God as He is, now or later. For now, the choice of when we see Him is ours. One day, our choices will be turned into a reality that will either be disastrous or delightful.
