Job 23:13-15. And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. Therefore am f troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
Yet he longed for him. So, sometimes, we long for the presence of God, yet that presence strikes us with a solemn awe whenever We are favored with it. We ask to see our Lord, yet when we do see him, we have to say, with John, "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead." Or perhaps we are like Peter who, when the Lord Jesus was in his boat, fell down before him, and cried, "depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord." the majesty of Christ’s pure presence was too much for poor imperfect Peter; so is it for us.
