God Does Not Have Favorites, But He Does Have Confidantes

Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You [progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with You Exodus 33:13   
When we spend time with God, it becomes evident, that we become calmer, we are easier to get along with, we are more joyful, and we remain stable in every situation.  Spending quality time with God is an investment that yields rich benefits.  We begin to understand in a greater depth what He likes and what offends Him.  As with any friend, the more time we spend with God, the more like Him we become.  Spending time with God causes us to become more sensitive to the love He wants to demonstrate to us and to others.  Our conscience alerts us when we are talking to someone in a way that does not please Him.  Our heart grieves when He grieves, and we quickly pray, "Oh God, I'm sorry."  We soon want to apologize to the people we may have offended and then we discover that saying, " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," isn't so difficult after all.  When God told Moses he had found favor in His eyes (exodus 33:12), Moses understood that God was telling him he could ask for anything his heart desired.  Moses responded by saying that he simply wanted to become more intimately acquainted with God.  Moses had seen God perform history's most magnificent miracles, yet what he wanted most of all was to know God intimately.  I pray that knowing God is the desire of your heart.  I pray that it is always the desire in all of our hearts.  We can know Him and hear His voice as clearly and as intimately as we want to.  All it takes is spending time with Him.  God does not have favorites, but He does have confidantes.
