The presence of God changes how a believer lives, but when idols creep up into our lives, we don’t experience the full presence of God. Israel had an idolatry problem, and it cost them the presence of God moving forward with them to the promised land. Like Israel, we need to locate the idols in our lives, cast them aside, and focus solely on Christ. He is what makes us distinct, and through His power, we can find the strength to endure and enjoy his rest.
