Whispers of His Power – FEBRUARY 1

Exod. 33.14, 15: And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.  And he said unto Him, If Thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

Let us take these words not so much for a sketch of unknown months, but just for today.  Are they not wonderful?  If Thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence – for indeed I cannot think of even one hour without Thee.  My presence shall go with thee – with thee through this day. And I will give thee rest.

The God of Hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing that in very truth His presence will go with us throughout this day.

oooOOOooo
