How does God's presence provide rest to believers?

Moses's assertion that if God’s presence does not go with him, he would not proceed reflects the profound truth that God’s presence brings rest and assurance. This rest is not the absence of work but the peace and security found in knowing God is with us. The believer's life is filled with various trials; however, resting in God’s presence allows for a quiet assurance of His plans, knowing He never leaves us nor forsakes us. By relying on God’s presence, Christians can act courageously while maintaining a state of peace.
