Exodus chapter 13 verses 21 and 22.

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.

The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night

did not depart from before the people.

What a picture? picture?

Like what a way to travel?

When it's time to go somewhere,

this cloud rises and starts moving

so the people just follow the cloud. rises and starts moving.

So the people just follow the cloud.

And then when it's dark and you can't see the cloud in the same way,

there's fire that rises and leads and guides.

It stops at a certain place so you stop.

It goes to a certain place so you go with it.

What a great picture of God's loving leadership and guidance in the life of his people.

He doesn't leave them to just kind of figure this thing out on their own.

He personally provides direction and guidance and where to go, when to go there.

Now I think about this when it comes to my life, just everyday, your everyday life, and then decisions that I make. I think about hard decisions

that we make or wonder, oh God, what do you want me to do here?

I'm guessing you, like I struggle with those decisions sometimes.
