I am inspired to know that they didnt move when the cloud didnt move- I shall try to do the same in my life- what got me was they sometimes stayed camped out for over a year if the cloud didnt move for over a year. At the same token if the cloud moved at night they would also moved, they could be moving all day and all night and as long as the cloud didnt stop they would keep moving. I also love the part that, during that time that they had crossed the red sea and were being chased by the egyptians the cloud went behind them as a protection agains the egyptians- there was darkness on the egyptians side and light on the israelites side. How awesome is that- I can see Gods protection on my own life and now I know that indeed I have my own pillar of cloud

It would be incredible from Moses’ perspective marching around in the desert for forty years with the Israelites to be in God’s presence continually, but from God’s point of view, he was just desirous to have Moses with Him. You know, He did want the entire nation to be that close to Him, but the nation refused, asking Moses to “do that for them.”

Even when Adam and Eve sinned against Him in the Garden, he skinned some animals to make clothes for them. He was even then covering and relating to them on whatever basis He could have. He is desiring the entire world to be with Him, desires us to be with Him everyday, yet is patient and kind enough to us to wait for us to come around.

I don’t know much about the pillar of fire and cloud in my own life, but I know whether I eat manna or the fruit of the land, I will be satisfied with Him.

Thought-provoking, Michael. Thank you.

I’ve been making laps around the OT for a while so this is fresh in my mind. Thanks for something to think about!
