Is God's Presence With Us?



Exodus 33:15 

Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.”



There is no part of my life where I do not want God involved in it.

There is no part of my heart, that I do not want God to be in it.

There is no decision I make, that I do not want God to lead it.

And yet, so often I forge on ahead without asking Him to come along.

You too?

How many times, have we walked (or ran) ahead of the Lord?

How many times have we asked for His blessing….AFTER we had already made a decision?

I know that no matter where I am in life, the safest place to be is where my God wants me to be. It’s the BEST place to be.  

I don’t want to experience anything apart from Him. I want His glory in it.  I want His divine hand all over it. And I want to know, as I’m feeling His presence, that He has personally come down to me, and been with me every step of the way.

Let us pray. Let us ask God to not send us anywhere without His Presence going with us.  Let’s ask Him to hold us back; if something (or somewhere) is going to lead us away from Him.

Let’s ask.


Let’s always seek Him as our companion. For being somewhere without His presence, is an empty place to be; indeed.

Dionna: I recently read the scripture that you used. It was part of a Lenten devotional. As Christians, we should not want to go anywhere without God's presence being with us. But we are human and we sometimes jump in and go without Him and His leading. Then, we have to seek His forgiveness.
