If You Find God, You Find Peace
"And He said, 'My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.'" Exodus 33:14
When God is with you when you go through difficult situations, He will give you rest, you will have peace and assurance of getting through safely because you know God is with you.
Having God's presence with you does not mean you will not face challenges in your life, no! But it means that having God makes it different. In Psalm 23:4, God's word says, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." In this verse, we see that David had assurance and peace in his heart because God was with him.
Also, in the book of Isaiah 43:2, God's word says, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; nor shall the flame scorch you." When God says He is with you, be assured that everything will be alright.
Now, the important thing in today’s world is, "Make sure in your life, at all times, you remain in God's presence." Do not allow anything or anyone to be a reason for you to be far from God.
The cost of walking outside of God's presence is too high. Moses refused to continue with the journey to Egypt without God's presence and said to God, "If your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. Exodus 33:15" Just think, the whole nation stood still until they were sure that God was with them. How about you? Shouldn't you do much more?
I urge you again, at any cost, to ensure your relationship with God is right. Do not let sin separate you from God or your desires. Whether someone has offended or hurt you and you have not been able to forgive them, ask God to help you.
Do not let the desires of the flesh cause you to fall out with God, nor the desire for wealth and money. Be faithful in everything you do, and you will see God's presence cover and prosper you in everything you do.
Prayer: Oh Lord, I ask for your presence to be with me always. May your Holy Spirit be with me, and may he teach me how to walk with Him in obedience and humility. Amen
