Anywhere With Jesus

(View Daily Bread)
Exodus 33:12-17 (NIV)
Moses and the Glory of the Lord

12 Moses said to the Lord, "You have been telling me, 'Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with me.' 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people."

14 The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

15 Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 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?"

17 And the Lord said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name."

Indeed Lord, if You walk with us, how can we be shaken? You're wiser and more powerful than anything that walks this earth, be it a human or beast. You're in absolute control of every single living thing and situation, and we all live under Your loving shelter.

Lord I'm in the midst of a very hectic working period at the moment, and though I feel tired and problems seem to close in from around me, I know I can trust in You. May I find grace in Your eyes, and You'll walk with me through this dire period. The things being laid in front of me seem very challenging, and with the deadline, even impossible to a certain extent, but Lord I place myself entirely in Your hands, and I submit to Your will.

Strengthen my heart for whatever that lay ahead of me Father. Thank You loving Father.
