A Special, Personal Presence

Commentators explain that God's promise of "My presence" signifies more than His general care for the world. It refers to a special, conspicuous manifestation of His guidance and protection. John Calvin refers to it as God's "face" going with them, a clear sign of His personal involvement, which he identifies as the eternal Christ leading His people.
