God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The doctrine of concurrence affirms that God directs, and works through, the distinctive properties of each created thing, so that these things themselves bring about the results that we see. In this way it is possible to affirm that in one sense events are fully (100 percent) caused by God and fully (100 percent) caused by the creature as well. However, divine and creaturely causes work in different ways. The divine cause of each event works as an invisible, behind-the-scenes, directing cause and therefore could be called the 'primary cause' that plans and initiates everything that happens. But the created thing brings about actions in ways consistent with the creature’s own properties [which God unchangeably gave and sustains], ways that can often be described by us or by professional scientists who carefully observe the processes. These creaturely factors and properties can therefore be called the 'secondary' causes of everything that happens, even though they are the causes that are evident to us by observation (Wayne Grudem and Jeff Purswell).

Moses saw the “back”, or hindquarters of God, if you will (see Exodus 33:19-23). This resulted in a glowing brilliance on his face that terrified the people, from which they turned away. The dazzling brilliance that transformed Moses’ face was too much for them to bear, yet this came from his beholding the back of God, not His face! Our eternal destiny is to see Him face to face. What will it be for us to bask in the radiant glory and refulgent beauty of His divine countenance!
