MEDITATION
Exodus 33:15-17
15 Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.
16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.”
17 So the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.”

沉思
《出埃及记 33：15-17》
15摩西说：“你若不亲自和我同去，就不要把我们从这里领上去。
16人在何事上得以知道我和你的百姓在你眼前蒙恩呢？岂不是因你与我们同去，使我和你的百姓与地上的万民有分别吗？”17耶和华对摩西说：“你这所求的我也要行，因为你在我眼前蒙了恩，并且我按你的名认识你。”
