Daily Scripture
“Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “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 33:12-16
devotion
Moses recognizes that without God's presence, there is no distinction between Israel and any other people. For him, the presence of God is everything—without it, they have no purpose or identity. God's presence in our lives changes everything. It marks us as His people, and without it, we are lost. Our journey through life cannot be meaningful unless God is leading and walking alongside us.
What does God’s presence mean to you, and how does it affect your daily life?
