“And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”” - Exodus 33:17 (ESV)
Moses had asked God to go with him as he led the people of Israel to the Promised Land. What a wonderful answer to prayer! God agreed to go with Moses just as he had prayed. It was a very difficult time for Moses. He was instructed by God to lead the people whom God called a stiff-necked people (Exodus 33:5). He had encountered such disobedience from them with the making of Egyptian idols that Moses doubted he could lead the people rightly (Exodus 33:14-15). Moses had asked God to go with him. This request pleased the Lord. And God wants to be with His children today, too. When we ask Him to be with us, He is pleased with our request. And, as God told Moses that He knew his name, so He knows us by name too. He knows your name and He knows mine. He wants to be with us today. When we ask for His presence He will say to us as he said to Moses, “I will do this thing that you ask. I will be with you through your trial and testing every step”
