THAT I MIGHT

Today's reading: Leviticus 22-24

"It was I who rescued you from Egypt, that I might be your very own God. I am the Lord." Leviticus 22:33 NLT

There are many reasons God could have chosen for freeing His people from slavery in Egypt...

-That His glory might be known all over the world.

-To put the pressure on those who oppose Him.

-To have a good story to tell.

But He did it, according to this verse, so that the Israelites would know Him as their own God.

Isn't that why He does everything He does?

That we might know Him as Lord and Savior.

Personally.

Intimately.

Individually.

Church-wide.

With our whole hearts.

That He be our very own God!
