Exodus 34:10a Then the Lord said: "I am making a covenant with you." (After the Lord had once again declared to Moses His love and mercy to Moses and His people even though the people had sinned against God, after He had revealed Himself to Moses and had shown Him some of the beauty and power and holy character of His presence, God answered Moses' prayer for forgiveness for their sin and for renewed relationship by making a new decree, a new covenant connection with them and ultimately with us today, a covenant that stands forever between an eternal God and His creation. God Himself initiated His outreach to us--not we to Him. The Lord is so committed to relationship with us that He pursues us. We don't ever have to be concerned about finding God-- He's already found us, sought us out, called us by name, generously and fervently inviting us to walk with Him. He is so committed to us that He has made a vow, a binding covenant with us that cannot be broken, that we would be His chosen people
