Pillar of Cloud And Pillar of Fire

And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night - Exodus 13:21.

              For Israelites to travel by day or night, God led them by going ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way in day and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light. The Israelites followed  the Lord in the wilderness as He alone led them safely by keeping them as the apple of His eye. He found him in a desert land And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings, So the Lord alone led him - Deuteronomy 32:10-12.

              God will be our pillar of fire and pillar of cloud as we follow Him where He leads. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths - Proverbs 3:6.I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye - Psalm 32:8. The Lord teaches me to profit, and leads me in the way I should go - Isaiah 48:17. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way - Psalm 25:9. You will guide me with Your counsel - Psalm 73:24. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go - Genesis 28:15. 

             May the Lord go before us as the pillar of fire and pillar of cloud and lead us continually day and night. The Lord will guide us continually. The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail - Isaiah 58:11. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left - Isaiah 30:21.

                                                                            

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You going before us as the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire and leading us day and night continually. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
