I have been impressed with the priority God has given to intimacy with us. A quick survey of experiences of intimacy from biblical characters shows this. Adam and Eve in the garden, Abraham's call to leave Hebron, Isaiah in the temple, and David dancing before the Lord-all are moments of intimacy. Jesus and his post-resurrection appearances and the day of Pentecost are further examples. As I reflected on my experiences, I realized that God had given me many moments of intimacy and that he wanted all of us believers to have such experiences. My prayer is that all who read this devotional book will have their own moments of divine intimacy.
