Topic: IN HIS PRESENCE
Biblical Text: ‘ And He said, my presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto him; if thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.’ [Exodus 33:14-15]
God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and cry to them to change their ways so that they are not destroyed. Jonah refused to go rather, he arose, boarded a ship and departed unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. Suddenly the ship he boarded began to experience a mighty storm. A storm capable of destroying the ship which includes all passengers aboard. They were afraid. Upon enquiry, they discovered that the trouble they were going through was because of Jonah who fled the presence of God. Moses on the other hand, knew the importance of the presence of God, having fled the land of Egypt before as a murderer, he returned with the presence of the Lord to deliver Gods people from captivity without fear. And great wonders were done through the hands of Moses because of the presence of the Lord. It is the presence of the Lord in our lives that makes all the difference. The presence of God guarantees rest, protects from the wicked and gives you fullness of joy. However, sin drives us away from His presence. Adam and Eve hid from the presence of the Lord when they sinned. Repent today and His presence shall go with you.
