Exodus 33:12b You have said, 'I know You by name (As Moses talks to the Lord, he reminds himself and God what the Lord has revealed to him before, that God Himself has declared that He knows Moses personally by his very name, indicating His strong affirmation and honor to Moses. In the same way, God knows us by name, personally, intimately, and thoroughly. As we make requests of the Lord, the Lord says to us today that He knows our name. He is saying we are important to Him and that He has singled us out to such a degree that He knows us intimately by name, showing us that His warm and close relationship with us is intensely personal. He knows our name and even when we rise up and sit down, when we go in and when we go out. He invites us to recall His promises, to bring them to mind, to stand in confidence on our history with the Lord.) |and You have found favor with me.' (Not only has the Lord revealed to Moses and to us that He knows us by name, but He also assures us that He has extended His high favor to us and honors us with His presence and blessing. He invites us to approach Him today with confidence. What a wonder that the Lord God Almighty chooses us and chooses to abide with us.)
