Listen from:
“And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest” (Ex. 33:1414And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. (Exodus 33:14)).
In India, where burdens are carried on men’s heads and backs, it is customary to provide resting places for them. Stones are set up along the hot dusty roads, just the right height for a man to rest his burden upon until he is refreshed and able to go on his way.
“Ah, Sahib,” said a native Christian to an English gentleman, “Christ is my rest-stone, Christ is all my hope.”
How many of my readers are finding their rest in Christ: turning to Him, and realizing His presence and His support in the difficult pathway they are treading?
