EXODUS 33:15 (NLT)
Then Moses said, "If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place."
JOHN 12:13 (MSG)
They broke off palm branches and went out to meet him. And they cheered:
Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes in God’s name!
Yes! The King of Israel!
THE ESSENCE
Move with God, who is on the go.
DAILY FODDER
God was sending the Hebrews deeper into the wilderness because they weren't willing to go into the Promised Land. In Exodus 33 Moses is attempting to negotiate with God, saying they shouldn't leave their current camp without God's presence. But in vs 14, God had already promised to go with them. Sometimes we just need to hear it again.
PRAYER
Long live King Jesus! Forgive me for the times I undercut your kingdom efforts, even while I’m shouting "Hosanna" on your behalf. I need to know that you are present with your fickle followers. I have no desire to move forward without you and in my best moments I recognize that I can't move apart from your energizing presence. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
