~~Jesus Is Always With Us ~~

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched."
---(Isaiah 43:2 /NASB-)--

---FACE-TO-FACE ~~
~~[Please Read /Exodus 33:7-14]

"The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend."
---(Exodus 33:11)--

~~Although we're all connected electronically like never before nothing beats time together in person. Those who love each other, whether family or friends, like to share with each other face-to-face.

We see this face-to-face relationship between the Lord and Moses, the man God chose to lead His people. Moses grew in confidence over the years of following God, and he continued to follow Him despite the people's rebelliousness and idolatry. After the people worshiped a golden calf instead of the Lord (see Exodus 32), Moses set up a tent outside of the camp in which to meet God, while they had to watch from a distance (33:7-11). As the pillar of cloud signifying God's presence descended to the tent, Moses spoke on their behalf. The Lord promised that His presence would go with them (v.14).

We no longer need someone like Moses to speak with God for us. Instead, just as Jesus offered His disciples, we can have friendship with God through Christ (John 15:15). We too can meet with Him, with the Lord speaking to us as one speaks to a friend. ~~
