Exodus 33:1-16

The people have so grieved God that He instructed Moses to pitch the tabernacle outside their camp. He has committed to give them the land He had promised, but He refused to dwell there with them. But Moses values God more than the land He has promised. He pleads with God to remain with them.

Moses preferred to forfeit the blessing rather than lose the presence of God, For Moses and for us, God is our reward. We are thankful for His many blessings, but the greatest blessing is to have Christ present in our lives.
