Remembering Who We Are
Before reminding the people of some of His expectations, God restated His unique commitment to them. The distinguishing characteristics of our lives are wrapped up in the promises of God.
Observations

- Extreme caution was needed so that God’s people didn’t drift toward ungodly practices (34:15-16).
- God reiterated His instructions so that His people proved distinct in the world (34:17-26).
- God’s words are etched in stone, so we can’t erase them when they seem inconvenient (34:27-28).
- After extensive time with the LORD, Moses radiated with noticeable, glorious evidence (34:29-35).
Applications
