The tabernacle had just been completed. This had been
a united effort by all the people. " On the day that the tabernacle was
raised up, a cloud covered the tabernacle. " This was God's seal of
approval for a job well done, and the fulfillment of His promise that He
would be with them on their journey.
There could be no dispute about which path to take.
When the cloud lifted, the Israelites would march, and when the cloud
settled over an area , the children of Israel would camp. They only
journeyed when the cloud led them.
God guided and the people trusted
that God knew the
way they should go. He was not
distant, but ever-present to guide and protect them on their way to the
Promised Land. Their part was to exercise their faith, be patient, and
be ready to follow when the cloud lifted.

God is the same today as yesterday,
He has given us His Spirit to guide us on our journey.
He asks for our faith and trust, our willingness to wait for His timing, and our readiness to go at His command.
