In Exodus 33 the Israelites were terrified to think that God had left them alone. He had not left them, of course, even though their sin had indeed strained the intimacy of their relationship. Through His mediator He continued to share regular fellowship with his people. Whether due to our circumstances or our sin, we often feel isolated from God in our everyday lives. But we are never alone if we have known the grace of Jesus Christ. He is the Ultimate Mediator who secures our permanent fellowship with God no matter where we are or what we have done.
