Do You Have True Stability in Life?
“And He said, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’ Then he said to Him, ‘If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.’”
EXODUS 33:14-16

Ponder This
You can have provision and protection but still not have God’s presence. That should frighten you. You know a lot of folks just settle for eternal security. They say, “Well, I’m saved. I’m going to Heaven. That’s all right. I don’t want the intimate presence of God. As long as I’m saved. . .”
Don’t think that because you have the things you want you know God intimately. The Bible says on another occasion concerning the Israelites that God “gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul” (Psalm 106:15).
The problem may be that you are doing fine. You live in a beautiful home. Your children are healthy. They’re making good grades. You’ve got a job. You’re putting money in the bank. Your retirement looks good, and you’re satisfied. If that’s all you want, may God have mercy on you. You are satisfied. Moses said, “I don’t want Canaan, Lord, without you.”
To know God intimately is stability. To know God intimately is a necessity. Don’t take prosperity, don’t take victory, don’t take a land flowing with milk and honey, don’t take anything else as a substitute for knowing God intimately.
- Is intimacy with God something you desire? How do you pursue it?
- What is the danger in associating prosperity with intimacy with God?
Practice This
Talk to a friend in the faith and consider how you can encourage one another in pursuing intimacy with Christ.
