Scripture: Exodus 33:14-15



14And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest”. 15Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here”.


How many times have you thought: “I wish God would bless me”? May be those words came to you when you were asking God to answer a specific prayer or when you sensed some type of adversity approaching.


There are many different ways to receive God’s blessings, but most often we think of it from a material sense.


Many of us follow the Lord in order to receive “something”. Our eyes are set on seeing miracles and material provisions. Experiencing a miracle from God is great, but the Lord wants us to see Him as more than just the Provider of our needs; He wants us to see Him as the Bread of Life in whom all of our needs will be met.


The greatest of all God’s blessings has nothing to do with material wealth and social position. God’s greatest blessings have more to do with the closeness of His presence. When we allow Him to really fill us with His presence, we realize that we have no need.


Like David, we can say, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want’. Our relationship with Him is that which satisfies our real needs.


Are your eyes on the Saviour because of what He provides or because you love Him? The test of true love is this- abiding with the One you love, regardless of anything else.


Learn to love Him and Him alone; then all your cares will be satisfied. His presence is our blessing. His presence satisfies.

Prayer: Lord, bless me with Your presence and satisfy my heart壮 longing. Scriptural Reading: Exodus 33:12-23
