📖 And the Lord said, My Presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.
And Moses said to the Lord, If Your Presence does not go with me, do not carry us up from here!
For by what shall it be known that I and Your people have found favor in Your sight? Is it not in Your going with us so that we are distinguished, I and Your people, from all the other people upon the face of the earth?
And the Lord said to Moses, I will do this thing also that you have asked, for you have found favor, loving-kindness, and mercy in My sight and I know you personally and by name.
—Exodus 33:14-17 AMPC
What is one thing that causes us to stand out as believers: God’s Presence. As believers, God dwells on the inside of us. We take His Presence with us everywhere we go. This is what causes us to be the light of the world, and the salt of the earth. His presence within causes us to walk in peace. It should bring us joy. It is what creates the distinction between us and the world. Moses knew that He would be unable to successfully carry out His mission without God’s Presence. We should have the same understanding. We must get to the place where we realize that He is our sufficiency, and He is our ability. We can do all things, but it is only because of Who is on the inside of us. Let us never lose sight of that truth.
