Is was a Presence, not faith, that drew Moses to the burning bush, and what happened there was a revelation, not a seminar. It was a Presence, not faith, which drew the disciples to Jesus and what what happened then was not an educational program but his revelation to them of himself as the long promised Anointed One.

Their lives, just like Moses, were changed radically by that encounter with a Presence which upended all their ordinary expectations.

David said, “Cast me not away from your Presence, take not your Holy Spirit from me.” I wonder today if we cherish the Presence of God the way we should. Jesus promised to be with us when we gather together.

I am living in such expectation of our being together and His Presence! I hope you are too!
