Continual Burnt Offering: Daily Meditations, January 13 (33:14)
“My presence shall go with thee and I will give thee rest”— Exodus 33:14.
IT was God’s promise to Israel after failure had come in, and, from their side, all covenant-blessing had been forfeited. But His love would not allow Him to forsake them, even as His grace demands that He never leave His people today. When distressed by a sense of unworthiness, how blessed to realize that He knew all we would ever he and do before He saved us at all, and His presence will go with us to the end and bring us into rest at last, for He has said, “I will never leave thee nor forsake,” and we know that He is faithful that promised. He cannot deny Himself.
