I wish I could tell you, my faithful blog readers, that I always know the answer. News flash--I don't. I always have said that any answer to any problem, concern, or daily life choice is in the B-I-B-L-E. Do I always find that answer the first time I look? Uh, duh, no. Either I don't look hard enough or the Lord wants to teach me the searching technique.
Either way, I was blessed this morning in my early devotion to find a much sought after answer. One of my little Sunday School class munchkins gave me a devotion book for Christmas that I have really enjoyed. It always lists about three scriptures of reference for that devotion. This morning the second scripture came from Exodus. I mean, really, how often do folks really read Exodus?
I have been searching for some good comforting peace about some surgery I have coming up. This morning I found some in this scripture. It was too good to not share. Exodus. Imagine. The scripture is regarding Moses as he seeks. Exodus 33: 12, 14, 17 reads like this:
"And Moses said unto the Lord, See, though sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name: and thou hast also found grace in my sight,
And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name."
Wow. I love any of that scripture where it talks about grace and the Lord knowing me by name. Grace. Comfort. Peace.
Consider that a while....
