Presence

 Exodus 33:15 ESV

And Moses said to the Lord, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here."


I love this quote from Moses, the friend of God. The Lord wasn't a means to an end for Moses. God wasn't just a ticket to a land flowing with milk and honey. 

The Lord was everything to Moses. Is he everything to us? Or is he just a 'get out of hell free' card? 

Would we care if God isn't present in our afterlives? If not, we are heading for hell. Only if we yearn for God's presence will we get to enjoy worshiping him for eternity, as he deserves.

God isn't just a divine slot machine to get what we want out of. He is the Source of all that is good. The worst thing he could do for us is to withdraw the goodness of his presence.

'Dear Lord God, thank you for promising never to leave or forsake your people. Please presence yourself amongst us by your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name we pray, amen'.
