Father, the second set of tablets speaks of your great compassion over your people. Thank You for the Mosaic covenant. Thank You that Christ fulfilled the law and ushered in the New Covenant, extending your grace and mercy, redemption and salvation, to those who confess with their mouths and believe in their hearts that Jesus the Christ is Lord. Thank You for calling me by my name and granting me eternal hope and life, being born again in Spirit and Truth. You are surely abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, for You have forgiven my iniquity, transgression and sin, though I did not deserve your favor. You are worthy of glory and honor, and I lift my prayer in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.’ And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped. And he said, ‘If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.’” (Exodus 34:5–9 ESV)
