"He Knows Your Name"

 Exodus 33:17 “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”

 Moses asked that God’s Presence would go with God’s people on their journey to the Promised Land. More, Moses asked that if God would not journey with them, then please, God, do not let us even begin this journey.

 Whatever journey you are beginning or about to resume after a pause or detour, make this big ask of God: ‘Let Your Presence be my constant companion.’ The Presence guides, comforts, protects, delivers. Even in our journey through death, the Presence ushers us home.

 Why would God agree to your request? Because God is pleased with you, perhaps for your obedient response to God’s will,  but certainly because of what Jesus did for you on the Cross.

 God knows you by name. Think on that for a moment. You are no stranger to God. There are billions of people God knows, and one of them is you.

 Pause. Listen. Hear. The Presence is calling you by name, inviting you to join the journey through darkness and into light.

 Fear not, friends. He knows your name.
