God’s Presence

#776 – June 10, 2012

This teaching examines two incidents that occurred in the wilderness, while the children of Israel were encamped at Mount Sinai. By comparing the two, we see that, although the people desired to keep a deliberate distance between themselves and God, Moses properly valued God’s presence – so much so that, without God’s presence, he was unwilling to go up to the Promised Land. As Christians, we have access to God far beyond that which was available to Israel. Like Moses, we want to value God’s presence and remember to boldly utilize our access to Him. As we do so, His qualities will become more and more evident in our lives. [Tom Burke]
