There always comes a time when we become overwhelmed in life. There are barely ever rest stops along the way. Every morning of a new day we get up and go. The "tale of bricks" must meet the quota demands many times without straw. I had felt overwhelmed for a few days. Then I read this chapter anew because God brought it to me.

Moses reached a place where he could go no further. The children of Israel had just experienced God's anger and separation from them because they worshiped the golden calf. Yet God still kept His covenant with Abraham.

He told Moses "Go up hence...thou and the people...And I will send an angel before thee." Exodus 33:1-2. But Moses was not satisfied to have "an angel" to lead them. He spoke with God "face to face" and asked Him, "thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me."

God replied, "My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest."

When I read these words I felt my heart enlarge with the Presence of God. God went with Moses instead of "an angel" for the rest of his life. I knew our Father in heaven had then spoken to me. I had wept in prayer asking for the rest only He can give and this was His answer personally to me. His Presence is our rest.

We see that if we speak to God "face to face" in prayer asking Him to go with us and no one else this will also be His reply, "My Presence will go with you and I will give you rest." Doesn't Jesus say that in Matthew 11:28?

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest?" Then Come....and rest. "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." Genesis 33:27.

“Bare heights of loneliness...a wilderness whose burning winds sweep over glowing sands, what are they to HIM? Even there He can refresh us, even there He can renew us.” ― Amy Carmichael
