I Need Your Presence

Scripture:

Exodus 33:15  "Then Moses said to him, 'If your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here'".

Observation:

Moses was being told by God about the land He had promised him and his people.  It was a beautiful land filled with milk and honey.  It would be the best place for the children of Israel to live.  In the process of God telling Moses to go for it, Moses shows incredible insight and says, "If your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here".  He knew that the presence of God makes the difference.

Application:

God's presence is always with us, but sometimes He manifests His presence in more tangible and powerful ways.  Moses knew that the people needed to see the glory of the Lord in some way if they were going to trust Him.  We need the presence of the Lord to go with us and before us into every part of our lives.  We should desire the presence of God and long for Him.  When His presence is with us, enemies are destroyed and good things happen.

Prayer:

Lord, I want your presence with me today.  I ask you to manifest your presence in the important meeting today I have concerning land.  Give us favor I pray and let the presence of God be overwhelming in the meeting today.  Show Your glory and let the greatness of God be seen.  Give me the words to speak and the anointing to speak them in.

Yours Forever,
Jeff
