1 And the LORD said to Moses, “Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I will write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke.
God holds leaders to account. He doesn't say, "the first tablets which got broken". He does say, "the first tablets which you broke."
“The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty
God's goodness is linked to his determination that people experience the consequence of their actions.
29 Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.
Intimacy with God always affects how we appear to men; we should take confidence from that, but often we don't recognise the change God is working in our lives.
