God answers Moses’ cry to “show me Your glory” not with a vision but with His character. Exodus 34 reveals the Lord as compassionate, gracious, patient, abounding in steadfast love, faithful, forgiving, and just—the most repeated description of God in the Bible. True hope is rooted not in circumstances or feelings, but in this God and His unchanging nature. This is the God Israel waited for, and the God we place our hope in today.
