Following His Presence

And He said, "My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest." Then he said to Him, "If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.” (Ex.33:14-15)

Humility is submission to God. But it is even more than subjecting yourself to God’s will. Humility is subjecting yourself only to God’s will. It is obeying God and no one else. It is having no other gods before Him. Like Moses, we need to say, “If You don’t go with us, we don’t want to go.” We should only want to be where God is and go where He leads us. We should forsake all our plans and ambitions that have not come from God. Let us not go and expect God’s presence to go with us, but rather go where His presence goes. And He will give us rest – complete contentment and peace.
