“Then Moses said to him, ‘If your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” Exodus 33:15

The presence of God is one of our most amazing gifts. If you have ever felt God with you all throughout your day you will never want to be without it. Knowing that you are not alone and that someone is there who loves you more than everyone and has the wisdom and power to make your life better is so comforting. When a mountain stands in my way and I start to worry, I know God’s got it under control. When problems arise I know I can talk to him and know he listens. When I am frustrated by my abilities, he gives me strength and wisdom to overcome. I can feel his wisdom, strength and joy all around me. I never want to be in charge because God does know me better than me. My way is not always the best way. Something I’ve come to realize is that people with different challenges such as birth defects, accidents, strokes, different handicaps and autism were given an extra dose of Gods presence to accomplish great and mighty things. He uses the weak to amaze the wise. I met someone with a handicap from birth who has learned to do great things and people like this can greatly touch lives for the glory of God. They may just be trying to get by day by day but their lives matter to others. Some have angels sent to them from God to let them know how much they matter and to give them strength. When you can’t do many things you rely on God and his presence spurs you on. Some day all of God’s children will be in the presence of God forever and what a great day that will be.
