The Cloud

Exodus 13:21-22 By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

People throughout the country spent quite a bit of time looking upward into the sky this week. If you were fortunate enough to be in the path of totality, you experienced a total eclipse of the sun. Where I live in Minnesota, it was cloudy all day. I was not able to witness the eclipse or even a glimpse of the sun all day.

This was not the case with the Israelites. The Israelites never experienced a cloudy day. God was faithful as he guided them out of Egypt. The cloud was a visual sign to them that God was with them throughout their journey. God continues to be with us today, guiding us throughout our journey.

Have a great week, and continue to look upward!
