READ Exodus 6
Moses is reassured by God.
 
INSIGHT
Throughout the Bible, God becomes more and more intimate with His people. By His official title, El Shaddai, God made Himself known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But now He tells Moses His name: Jehovah. Then in the Gospels, God becomes even more personal-as Jesus becomes incarnate. And in Acts and the Epistles, we discover that God comes to live in our hearts in the person of the Holy Spirit. The final act of intimacy will be when God brings us home. Then we can fellowship with Him face to face and forever.
 
PRAYER
Let us praise our intimate God with the words of the psalmist:
I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God while I live.
May my meditation be pleasing to him;
I will rejoice in the Lord (Psalm 104:33-34).

For the wellspring of life is with you.
By means of your light we see light (Psalm 36:9).
 
Now pray this confession to the Lord to keep your life in fellowship with Him:
Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger;
Do not discipline me in your wrath.
Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am weak;
Heal me,  Lord, for my bones are shaking;
My whole being is shaken with terror.
And you, Lord  — how long? (Psalm 6:1-3).
 
As you confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind, voice your affirmation of God's Word:
Therefore, there is now no condemnation
For those in Christ Jesus,  
Because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
Has set you free from the law of sin and death
(Romans 8:1-2).
 
As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for:

• A stronger desire for Christ to live through you
• Churches across the nation
• The concerns of your heart

 
Now offer this prayer of worship to the Lord:
The Lord shall preserve us from all evil;
He shall preserve our souls.
The Lord shall preserve our going out and our coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore (Based on Psalm 121:7-8).
