The Real Blessing
In Exodus 33:14 (NKJV), the LORD said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” We can rest in Him when we realize that in His Presence, we have all that we need. If you are waiting on some “big” blessing, realize that Presence of YAHWEH is the greatest blessing we could ever experience. The real blessing is not in any material or temporary thing. His Presence with us, always and forever, is the highest honor and privilege. In His Presence is peace, joy and unfailing love. With the LORD there is lovingkindness. (See Psalm 130:7 NASB1995) In His Presence is healing, restoration, renewal, and times of refreshing (see Acts 3:19 NKJV).
In Joshua 1:5 (NASB), the LORD said to Joshua, “No one will be able to oppose you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not desert you nor abandon you.” YAHWEH does not change. Just as He promised to be with Moses and Joshua, He is with His people today. We can count on Him to be with us always. In Joshua 1:6, He told Joshua to be strong and courageous, and then in Joshua 1:7, He says: “Only be strong and very courageous...” In the midst of challenges, trials and troubles, be strong and very courageous for the LORD of Heaven’s Armies is with you and no power on earth can defeat Him. The plans and purpose of YAHWEH will prevail. In Yeshua, we already have the victory!
Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah —Psalm 3:8 (NKJV)
