In Us, With US, and Through Us

One Simple Truth
It is the Lord in us, with us, and through us that distinguishes us.

Scripture
Exodus 33:16 ‭ESV‬‬ (Read the Full Chapter Here)
For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?”

Moses knew that without the active and abiding presence of God, he and the people of Israel had nothing. We must realize that we are benefactors of a grace that is so undeserved. We have received, not earned, forgiveness of sin, the gift of the Holy Spirit, an eternal inheritance, and life most abundant. It is not us that distinguishes us. It is the Lord in us, with us, and through us that distinguishes us.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, you are the distinguishing factor. All good things come from You. You are my source. Thank you for the life you’ve given me through You Son Jesus Christ. It’s all for You today. Amen.
