Exodus 40:38
“For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel."
Once again we see the “cloud” by day and the “fire” at night signifying God’s presents with His people. While the cloud was visible over the tabernacle the son’s of Israel remained in their location and did not journey forward (v.38). However, once the cloud was “taken up”, the son’s of Israel would set out on a new location directed by God for His work (v.36).
Just as the children of Israel were looking for God’s direction in moving them forward, so we need to be sensitive to His Spirit in our lives moving us forward into a new direction as well.
Pray, be open, and listen for that still small voice leading you in His direction and plan for your life.
The Truth
“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)
