Our honesty with God moves His heart more than perfectly worded prayers ever can. Moses’ humble, honest prayer of confession stirred God’s heart to not yet give up on the people of Israel. Exodus 32 teaches us that, if we fail to admit we need God’s presence in our lives, we will forever stay lost in the wilderness.

Remember how the children of Israel were so sure they could keep all the rules? It didn’t take long for them to break the first commandment: “You shall have no other gods before Me.” From what we’ve already learned about grace and the Law, this comes as no surprise. The Israelites blatantly, stubbornly turn their backs on God, leaving us with one question: Will God turn His back on them?

Have you ever arrived at an occasion feeling underdressed? In Exodus 28, we find that being underdressed was certainly not an option for the priests when they entered the Tabernacle. Every part of the priests’ garments served as a picture of Jesus Christ—our great High Priest.
