God Guides in Life Challenges
The time has come for the final journey to Canaan. After a special celebration of the Passover, the people watch as the pillar of cloud begins to move. It’s time to march! But the thrill of expectation soon gives way to tedium of travel. And Moses is faced with numerous problems: complaints about travel conditions and food, longings for the good old days in Egypt, and jealousy by Miriam and Aaron toward his position of leadership.
Lord, we’ll Follow Your Guidance: On the day the Tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered it. But from evening until morning the cloud over the Tabernacle looked like a pillar of fire… Whenever the cloud lifted from the Tent, the Israelites set out; wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped… At the Lord’s command they encamped, and at the Lord’s command they set out. They obeyed the Lord’s order, in accordance with his command thro Moses (N9:15-23).
Lord, sometime I wish Your leading as recognisable as a pillar of fire. As we make our way through the wilderness in this world, we do not take Your presence for granted. We want to move forward when you move and stay where we are when you stop. Thank you for Your Holy Spirit who lives in us and illumines Your Word, helping us to know and understand yr will. Thank you for renewing our minds so we’ll know the good & perfect will of God for our lives. Amen.
Lord, guide us in our journey thro life. Help us understand and recognise Your leading in every decision we make. Give clear direction so that we can stay on the path You have for us. We know following You doesn’t mean every thing will be easy. Help us not lose faith when the road gets rough. For we want to always arrive at the place You want us to be. Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, You are a Faithful God with good plan for us. But like Israelites going through life journey,we can still face challenges. Help us Recognise Your Leading & Follow Your Guidance in our life. Help us to be Grateful & Thankful for your provision and protection. Help us Seek Help from You rather than Murmuring and Complaining. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
