Pillar of Cloud

I just keep coming back to this idea of the pillar of cloud.  The Lord went before them in the pillar of cloud each day (13:21).  The presence of the Guiding God “did not depart” from the peoples sight.  The pillar of cloud would descend and the Lord would speak (33:9). 

Each day, never fleeting, guiding, governing, leading forth, bestowing and talking with his people.  His children. 

What would it look like if we sought to acknowledge the pillar of cloud.  The absolute presence of the Lord our God who leads us each day. 

My prayer is that my life would be one lead by the pillar of cloud.  Lead by the power and governing hand of the Lord.  A life that is glorifying to His Great Name and one that accepts, follows and sits patiently to listen, in the presence of God.

I ask myself what would it have looked like! Was it something that physically happened or was it just a metaphor!  Either way.  This is my prayer. 

Lord we want your cloud.  We want your presence to lead us by day and by night.  To descend upon us and bestow your love upon us.  I pray that the way the people of the village would see your presence with Moses, may people see your pillar of cloud with me.  May I live and conduct myself, and my relationships, in a way that is led by a beautiful, breathtaking, entrancing pillar of cloud.  Your presence O my God. 

You are my beloved and I am yours.  May I live actively in your presence and walk faithfully, eyes fixed, on your pillar of cloud. Amen
