Chris.
'You have found favor in My Sight, and I know you by name.' These words from the Lord must have given great assurance to the nervous and humble Moses. There are times when, even today, the Lord speaks such Words to His People. These Words come from Him especially when we are confronted by change in our lives through following His Will. We need to 'keep our eyes on Jesus' and follow Him always, not listening to the 'pull' of human voices, but listen first to God.
