Exodus 33 · Grade 4
Nothing Without God
Read and Think
After the golden calf, God said He would send an angel but not go with the people. Moses knew that the promised land without God was not worth having. God's presence is the greatest blessing.
Moses prayed boldly, and God said, My presence will go with you. God is gracious and answers prayer. God knew Moses by name.
Moses wanted to see God's glory. God showed him His goodness. In the New Testament, John writes that no one has seen God at any time, but the one and only Son has made him known (John 1:18). In the New Testament, John says we saw God's glory in Jesus (John 1:14).
