Exodus 34:1-35
Moses received the Word from the Lord. He brought God's Word to the
people. With God's Word of grace - "the Lord, a compassionate and
merciful God ...", there is also His Word of warning - "He never lets
the guilty go unpunished ... " (Exodus 34:6-7). Hearing God's Word of
warning, together with His Word of grace, Moses pleads with God for
mercy - "Lord, please go with us ... " (Exodus 34:9). The Lord promises
to give His blessing - "I'm making My promise again." This promise of
His blessing is accompanied by His call to obedience - "Do everything
that I command today" (Exodus 34:11). When Moses came, from God's
presence, to the people, his "face was shining" (Exodus 34:30,35). This
was a sign of the power of the Spirit - filling Him, giving Him
strength, equipping Him for the work of ministry.
