Moses and the Glory of God
(Exodus 33:12-23)
Moses was frustrated at the people's lack of faith, at their willingness to serve other Gods. He has an 'honest' (a rant?) conversation with God about honouring the promises he had made. "You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”

God of GraceI love how this passage captures Moses losing his patience at God, asking questions, placing demands, revealing his frustrations about the hardship of leading.
Yet, God replies with mercy and grace. “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (verse 14). And "I am pleased with you and I know you by name." (verse 17). In our frustration, anguish and questioning, God reminds of us of our identity and his approval. Bible doodleSource unknown - please contact us for attribution.
