GOD would carry on conversations with Moses, speaking to him face-to-face, just like one talks with a friend.
JOHN 15:15 (MSG)
I’m no longer calling you servants because servants don’t understand what their master is thinking and planning. No, I’ve named you friends because I’ve let you in on everything I’ve heard from the Father.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Through Christ Jesus, God relates to us as friends.
DAILY FODDER
How does it make you feel when you realize that God calls you a "friend?" What does that change about the way you relate to him?
PRAYER
Even when no one else is interested in being my friend, you, the God of the universe, call me "friend." I'm honored by your attention—even though I'm a flakey and self-centered companion. Show me how to live as a faithful friend and how to enjoy true friendship with you. I'm going to allow our relationship to alter the way I live. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
