Genesis 19:1-38; Job 22:1-30; Matthew 10:24-11:1
And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14 NKJV
The children of Israel were about to leave Sinai and go through the desert to the Promised Land. Moses was chosen by God to lead them through and he sought reassurance that God would be with him. In similar fashion, we are told that on our pilgrim journey we are to “go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:19-20 NKJV). He is always with us but He knows our need for reassurance and loves to constantly remind us of this wonderful fact. —R. J. Richardson
I need Thy presence every passing hour:
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Oh, abide with me. —Henry F. Lyte
