Numbers 8 and 9, Luke 2: 41-52, Psalm 41: 1-6
Numbers 9: 23 (ESV)
“At the command of the Lord they camped, and at the command
of the Lord they set out. They kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of
the Lord by Moses.”
Verse 9 from Numbers 9 reminds that we need to be led by God
in everything we do. I would love it if I had a cloud to lead me around in the
desert of my life. That must have been an amazing sight to see and feel. The
cloud would cover the Israelites by day, let them how long to camp in one
place, and when to leave their camp. I love the imagery of the cloud leading
God’s people in the desert. They had just come out of slavery and were not used
to fending for themselves, and the God of Moses provided for them a cloud to
take care of them. But I don’t have a cloud. I have to rely on trying to listen
to God’s words in my life, to read my bible every day, and watch how my life enfolds
so I can discern God’s will for my life. But I know if I follow the will of God
in my life that he will guide me through the desert of my life and everything
will be alright.
