Text: Exodus 33:14-16
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Moses the leader of Israel knew the importance of God’s presence and that is why he insisted that the Lord should go with them in all their travels. He told God saying, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” Exodus 33:15, 16
The difference between those who are in darkness and those who live in the light of His word is the presence of God.
The Lord replied Moses saying, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14. His presence brought terror on the towns all around them so that no enemy pursued them and those that did were overcome.
Personally, Moses the man of God lived up to the age of 120 and the word says, “His eye was not dim, nor his natural force (physical strength) abated.- Deuteronomy 34:7. What a special grace!
David said, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4. When God’s presence is with you, you have nothing to fear. His rod of discipline and staff of guidance will be there to lead you all the way.
Prayer Nugget: Father, have mercy on me and let your presence always be with me in Jesus name.
