And he
said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Whether I
am on the couch our laying in our bed, our Dog Tuffy always wants to crawl in
near us. Knowing that this small dog gains comfort from being close to us is a
good feeling.
The text
from the Book of Exodus shows God telling the Israelite's (through Moses) fleeing bondage in Egypt, that He will be with them every step of the way as they
journey to the promise land, and that in this land they will find rest.
Knowing
that our dog is comforted by our warmth and presence, brings us satisfaction,
but knowing that this small dog loves and trusts us enough to snuggle with us
brings us the knowledge that he trusts us to take care of him.
Likewise,
when we let God into our lives, when we let him get close to us, we feel the
comfort and love that only a relationship with God the Father can provide.
Beloved, know that God (Yahweh) just as He promised to be with the fleeing Israelite's, promises to be with us at every step and point of our lives.
My prayer
for you today is that you enjoy your animal children and let them feel your
love and presence in their lives. Likewise, let God enter your lives through
Jesus Christ and let the warm and loving presence of the Father snuggle with
you this day and every day.
This is
the day that the Lord has made.
