Key Verse

“So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.” Numbers 9:16

Text — Numbers 9:15-23

Message

During the wilderness journey, the cloud that covered the tent of the Lord was a sign to the Israelites that the Lord was with them. The Israelites did not carry on walking when the cloud stopped over the tent. But when the cloud lifted and started moving, they would follow it. And wherever the cloud stopped, they would set up their camp.

The cloud of God’s presence showed the Israelites when to walk, when to stop and where to go. The dark cloud guided them during the day and the pillar of fire guided them at night. The children of Israel had a cloud to guide them, but how can you know the way God wants you to go when you need to make a difficult and important decision and you don’t know what to do? When you ask Jesus to save you and you keep following Him, the Holy Spirit Who lives inside you guides you in a very special way.

He put good thoughts in your mind. He lets your heart feel peaceful when you obey Him, or he lets your conscience feel uneasy when you are going the wrong way. But relying only on feelings can sometimes be confusing. That is why God has given us the Bible as a light to guide us when the way ahead seems dark and unclear. Your duty is to read your Bible every day, think deeply on His word and be obedient to all that it commands you to do.
