S – Then God spoke to Moses, telling him, “I am the Lord. ³ I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but I was not known to them by my name ‘the Lord

Exodus 6:2–3 CSB

O – Commentary:  

While the patriarchs might have known the name Yahweh, it is possible that they had never seen God’s nature displayed as it was in the Exodus and the Sinai Covenant. In Hebrew, a person’s name has a broader significance than it does in English. People’s names were intended to reflect their character and nature, not just serve as a label (see, e.g., Ps 8:1, 9; 148:13). Here reveal is a Hebrew word often translated “to know,” which implies intimate knowledge and experience. In this case, the patriarchs knew God’s name, but they did not know and experience his nature fully as he revealed himself in the Exodus.

A – Each person gets to see the different aspects of God’s character.  Just as I am a son, father, grandfather and pastor, God takes on different roles with various qualities.  The two in this verse “The Lord” and “God Almighty” would be appropriate for what Moses was communicating.  We need to seek God according to his true character each day.

R – Today, I come to you El Shaddai.  You are Yahweh to me and there is no other.  I thank you that all of your character comes into this relationship -healer, provider, banner over me and more.  Thank you for allowing me to grow in an understanding of your heart and character.
