Exodus chapter 13 verse 21.

And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way,

and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light,

that they might travel by day and by night.

Ah, this is one of my favorite verses in the book of Exodus.

What a powerful picture.

So God's people have now been delivered out of slavery in Egypt.

So where do they go?

And how will God lead them as His people?

And God provides a pillar of cloud during the day to lead them along the way.

This pillar of cloud that's directing this mass of people as they travel.

And then by night in a pillar of fire, like just imagine what does that look like?

And night you look up everybody among God's people looking up and seeing this pillar of fire

that gives light and helps them travel by night and directs them where to go.

How awesome is that?

Like this just like giant flashlight just saying go this way.

Pillar of cloud during the day, pillar of fire by night, the way God is lovingly leading His people here is a picture.

Now get it.

Just let this soak in in your life.

If you've trusted in Jesus, if you know God, a relationship with God,

He promises to lead you in this way.
