Exodus 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night; the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.
Sometimes we need to sit down and define who our God is to us, so often we use emotional adjectives to describe God. Most of us would say that God is loving, caring and compassionate, merciful, almighty and so on. Yet we need to firm these up into action and power within our lives.
For the Israelites they experienced a God that would heal them when they were sick, provide for them in their need, guide them through troubles, bless their children, feed them when they were hungry, prosper them with enough and to spare, save them from slavery and bondage. When we understand that God is all these and proved this to them, and that He is unchanging and is the same God, then we should be able to say this is our God today. Having said that we should be able to believe this and live according to our belief.
Who is this God that you believe in and what do you believe about Him, when you start accepting this, then your true faith journey begins and ends in His promises to us.
Point to ponder: God is almighty and all powerful.
Question to consider: Who is your God?
