I’ve heard statements from individuals that go like this: “I’m not going into a nursing home when I get old.” How come so many people have that fate and that person decides he won’t have to?
Moses discussed facing a mountain of difficulty in Exodus 33 and here is the record of what he said to God.
Exodus 33:15
Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.
I wouldn’t want to be placed in a nursing home either, but if I have to, I want the presence of God. I don’t want cancer, but if that happens, the presence of God would be a must. I don’t think divorce is in my future, but if it was, I certainly would need the presence of God. I don’t want to experience the death of a loved one, but I know from experience His presence will get me through.
To tell you the truth, like the old hymn states, “I need him every hour” as life unfolds daily in the present. How about you?
Give it some thought.
