Exodus 31:1-33:23
The history of Israel is like a rollercoaster ride. It's full of highs
and lows. We read of the Lord giving His Word to Moses (Exodus 31:18).
This is followed by the people rebelling against God (Exodus 32:1). The
sin of the people is very greater. The mercy of God is even greater. He
shows mercy to those whop have rebelled against Him. He continues to
speak His Word of grace - "My presence will go with you, and I will give
you peace" (Exodus 33:14). Often, we feel like God won't want to have
anything more to do with us. God is the God of grace. He is also the God
of glory. He reveals His glory to us (Exodus 33:18-22. His full glory
is too much for us. He gives us a glimpse of His glory. He gives us
enough to create in us a thirst for more of His glory. He doesn't give
us so much that we are overwhelmed by His glory. What we have is grace
and glory together. When His glory seems too much for us, His grace
breaks in and assures us that we belong to Him. He shows us that His
glory is the glory of His love, the greatest love of all.
