| 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’s 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! |
