And the Cloud Led Them
Scripture:
"The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way."
(Exodus 13:21)
Reflection:
Have you ever watched the movie "The Ten Commandments"? Even
better have you ever read the Biblical account of the Exodus. One of the most
graphic images is the children of Israel being led through the barren wilderness
by a cloud. With this cloud before them these children of God never loose their
way. God has given us all a cloud in our lives, this cloud is the Holy Spirit. As
the cloud of Moses, the Holy Spirit is a gift from God to His trusting children.
It is there to guide us through life. As the cloud remained with the Israelites
in the wilderness, so the Holy Spirit remains with us forever. Think of it! With
the power of the Holy Spirit God Himself dwells within our hearts. When we are
led by the Spirit, our lives will be characterized by love, joy, peace, and self-
control (Galatians 5:16,22-23). We will be effective witnesses for Jesus Christ
as we travel through the wilderness of this world.
Prayer
Jesus thank you for the Holy Spirit from above with all you power. Come cover
me with your love, knowing that your love will kindle mine. THANK YOU GOD
FOR BEING GOD
