Watch the Cloud
Read Numbers 8:1 through 10:36
After the children of Israel had been organized in terms of housing and job duties, God set up a plan to guide them over the next forty years. We think of them as wandering aimlessly in a wilderness, but God guided them every step of the way.
Whenever the cloud lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites set out; wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped (Numbers 9:17).
Imagine how that would play out for the Israelites. They could make plans for the next day, but nothing was final until they checked out the cloud location each morning.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have that kind of direct guidance from the Lord today? You bet, and we do. Psalm 32:8 promises God will guide us in the way we should go. Keeping our hearts tuned to Him is the key. Each morning we can consult with the Holy Spirit about His plans for our day before implementing our own.
Prayer for Today: Father, I desperately want to hear from You each day. I need You to guide me. Your plans for me are far better than any plan I might have for myself.
