not alone

5 exodus 33:14-17 NIV: the Lord replied,"My presence will go with you and I will give you rest."


Then Moses said to Him, "If Your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that You are pleased with me and with Your people unless You go with us? what else will distinguish me and Your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?"



And the Lord said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name."



How awesome is that promise? Not only will God go with us, but He knows us by name! Jeremiah 29:11-14 states that He has plans that are good!!! Not just good, but plans to prosper us and to glorify His name. He cares about us so much that He takes great care in knowing us intimately- He knows how many hairs upon our heads Luke 12:7 and He collects our tears in a bottle (Psalm 56:8). Who am Ithat God would take such great care as to know the details of my life so accurately????



Iam not my own, Ibelong to God, but more then anything I know that my completion can only be found in and through Him alone. Mothing, no one, not what I do or who I think I am will ever bring full completion in my life. I must look to God alone to fulfill my everything! Not always easy to do, but a necessity in order to fulfill my purpose here on earth!



Fespite floods, despite torrents, despite the quaking, life changing things that occur.... God is still the one that can make a difference! daily we must spend time in His word- not only getting to know Him- but spending time in His presence makes a difference!



Father God, I ask in Your name for a deeper, more ravenous hunger for YouR word and for being in Your presence! may those that read this blog also desire for a closer walk with you. in Jesus name amen
