Moses pleaded GOD, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here” (Exodus 33:15). Moses boldly pleaded with God, “How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”Exodus 33:15-16. It’s God’s presence that sets us apart! God’s presence provided direction and comfort. HE was valiant in their midst to fight off their enemies. HE provided safety, strength and joy. It was HIS presence that set them apart from all the other peoples of the earth. HIS presence solidified their identity as HIS chosen people!!
