February 1, 2012 Exodus 13:19-20 Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front
of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved
from in front and stood behind them, coming between the armies of Egypt and
Israel.
Sometimes, we see the cloud of God’s protection clearly. Our faith is
strong and we look forward knowing God will guide us through difficult
challenges. Other times, we are confused. We feel as though we are following
what God told us to do; yet we still seem to be wandering in the desert. We may
wonder if God has left us; question why He is no longer guiding. It’s at that
point that we need to stand firm and get ready to move! At times, God moves
from leader – because He’s already told us what to do – to protector, guarding
our backs as enemies or naysayers nip at our heels – or the temptations are
great to go back to the bondage of sin. What mission does God have you on for
Him? What Red Sea does He want you to cross? Move on…He’s got your back!
Protective Father, Thank You for the many times I have seen Your
guidance and protection. Help me to use past experiences and examples in
scripture to KNOW that You’re still guiding and protecting through challenges –
especially when the mission is for You. Give me courage to walk through! Amen
