And the Lord said, \u201cMy presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest [by bringing you and the people into the promised land].\u201d And Moses said to Him, \u201cIf Your presence does not go [with me], do not lead us up from here. -Exodus 33:14-15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n God made a promise to the Israelites that His presence would go with them and they will have rest. When we are in God\u2019s presence we can walk through very hard stuff and still be in rest. God\u2019s presence isn\u2019t like anything else, hard stuff is still hard but it feels like someone is there doing the heavy lifting making the hard stuff bearable. The Israelites taking over the Promised Land logically didn\u2019t make sense with the amount of people they had and the size and skill of their army, but God made a promise and God fulfilled that promise. The same God is still doing just as remarkable things today. Moses\u2019 posture on the whole thing was \u201cIf God ain\u2019t going, I\u2019m not going.\u201d and that should be our posture as well in whatever we face in life, if God isn\u2019t leading me there, there is no reason for me to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot only is God with us, God actually cares to be with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.\u201d -C.S.
