Exodus 13:21 21And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.
When the children of Israel were wandering in the desert, God led
them by going before them in a pillar of cloud by day and pillar of
fire by night.
By day, God spread the pillar of cloud as a covering over His people in the
desert to prevent the scorching sun from striking them down. The people were
shaded and kept cool. Today, you are also under His covering. He will not allow
you to be struck down (Psalm 121:3–8), nor be oppressed by the “heat” of the day.
(Isaiah 54:14)
At night, when the desert became dark and cold, God gave His people the
pillar of fire to light the way for them, as well as to keep them warm and safe.
Today, as you walk with God, you will not be overwhelmed by the cold, dark
places in life because God&rsquos Word says, “You are all sons of light and sons of the
day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.” (1 Thessalonians 5:5) You will not
fear the terror by night or the pestilence that walks in darkness because God will
deliver you from them. (Psalm 91:5–6)
Like the children of Israel, who only needed to look up, and keep their eyes
on the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire, all you need to do today is to look up
and keep your eyes on Jesus. When you need His direction for a situation, look to
Jesus who has the words of eternal life. (John 6:68) When you see symptoms of
sickness in your body, look to Jesus who has borne away every disease and physical
affliction. (Matthew 8:17)
When the children of Israel were bitten by serpents in the desert, God told
Moses to make a bronze serpent and put it on a pole — a picture of Christ being
judged on the cross. (John 3:14) Those who looked at the bronze serpent instead
of their wounds were healed. (Numbers 21:9) He who looks to Jesus lives!
Beloved, look to Jesus. He is your covering, protection and deliverance!
