God tells Moses to take His people to the Promised Land but that He himself would not go because they are a stiff-necked people. They had taken His presence for granted. It says when the people heard this news they began to mourn. Moses begged God to go with them and said, “If your Presence does not go with us then do not send us up from here.” God’s presence in our life is vital! We will examine just how important it is. We shouldn’t budge an inch on our own.
