 God With Us

Happy Wednesday! 

An Excerpt from Exodus 13

They were out of Egypt but not away from all problems. 

The Pillar of Cloud and Fire

17When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them along the road through the land of the Philistines, though it was shorter. For God said, “If the people face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” 18 So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the Israelites left the land of Egypt arrayed for battle.

19Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear a solemn oath when he said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones with you from this place.”

20They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. 21And the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide their way by day, and in a pillar of fire to give them light by night, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place before the people.

God was traveling with them. He was in the pillar by day and fire by night. 

Does God want us thinking that life will always be perfect. No way. However, it seems to me that things get easier as you learn to have faith in God. Problems somehow show up, but God is faithful to deliver us from them all. 

Have a great day!
