Words to Treasure
The LORD would speak to Moses face to face like one would speak to a friend.
Exodus 33:11
Judy sat on the street curb waiting for her friend to arrive. She watched for her car to turn down the lane. She was watching so hard she had to remind herself to blink. Catherine was sleeping over, and Judy had everything planned. She had bought snacks and a movie they had both promised only to watch together. Her mom was making their favorite dinner. But what Judy was most looking forward to was talking with Catherine late into the night. They would sit on the bed and talk about everything — important things and stupid things. It didn’t really matter what they talked about because they just liked being together. They were friends.
God is also someone you can talk to about anything. Important things, small things — just anything. You can share your deepest thoughts with God. Would it surprise you to know that the Creator of the entire universe, from planets to peanuts, wants your friendship? The Bible tells us that when Moses talked to God, they talked together like human buddies. Does that sound like a God who just sits around his universe not caring about you? Nope. God is excited and waiting to spend some time with just you. So what are you waiting for? Go talk to God — he really is the best friend you could have.
