[The Glory Unveiled]
How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” ( Exodus 33:16 )
The statement that made this verse of scripture, was a concern Moses raised before God. God had told him that he knew him by name and he had found favour before Him. All these were sweet promises from God to Moses but Moses was not satisfied with just the words and what they meant; Moses wanted more than these words. Moses understood that His life only made significant meaning with God. Without the presence of God, nothing about His life will make meaning to the world around him. He understood that he was only distinguished from the rest of the world by the signature of the presence of God. The ever abiding presence of God was the sign that God was pleased with him and the ticket for that was God’s pleasure in them. The presence of God is the power of God expressing the glory of God. Without the presence of God, His glory cannot be seen. And without the glory, we cannot be distinguished from the people of the world. Our desire to make significant impact in the world cannot be without the presence of God. As a result, we must sacredly guard the presence of God in our lives which is the mark of His authority and power. Although the Holy Spirit dwells with us and in us, His presence can only be felt and known (becomes tangible) when He is pleased with us. And Hebrews 11:6 shows us how.
Prayer_Bead: Power and Might belongs to You Father. Omnipotent Lord, thank you for your ever abiding presence. May the world see your glory and power around me because of your presence with me.
