BIBLE PASSAGE: Exodus 33:18 -22
18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
Meditation: Genesis 21:22
About this time, Abimelech came with Phicol, his army commander, to visit Abraham. “God is obviously with you, helping you in everything you do.” Abimelech said.
THE MESSAGE
God promises to be with you always. One constant prayer on my lips is "Lord, wherever I am, please don't leave me by myself." His presence guarantees victory, no matter the millions against you. Moses knew that without God's presence in his life, he was useless, so he told God, "If your presence doesn't go with me, leave us here, I'm not going anywhere. l won't take a single step unless I'm sure you're with me", Exodus 33:15. You are reduced to nothing without him.
Even the heathen around Abraham testified of God's presence with him: Abimelech said, "Abraham, we recognize something different about you. God guides, preserves and blesses you wherever you go!" However, seeking God whole heartedly brings His presence into your life. In battle, King Asa cried out, "God, no one else can help us! We are, powerless against this mighty army. Oh Lord, help us! We depend on you alone; rescue us and in your name we attack this vast horde. Mere men can't defeat you" 2 Chronicles 14:11.
