Exodus 13

Bible Gateway link Chapter 13

This was not two different pillars, but one and the same. smoke by day, and fiery at night. Anyone that had seen fire during the day knows that the smoke can be so dense as to obscure the flames, while at night the flame comes through the smoke very clearly. The reason that I point out it is one and the same is because God never left them in the wilderness. He was with them at all times. God has always been with his people, just as he is with us today....everyday.

Yes I think we can all say that we might feel like we are wandering lost sometimes, and we all would love to have something as visible as a column of smoke out in front of us to show us the path! There are days that it might seem as we are in utter darkness, but take heart we are not. The Lord has replace the column of fiery smoke with the Holy spirit, it dwells in each of us, and guides us daily. As it reads in John 14: 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.


Peace,
Brian
