So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel during all their travels. Exodus 40:38
Could you imagine what it would be like to see a cloud with God in it every time you stepped out your front door? And at night the cloud was filled with fire? There is nowhere you could go without seeing Him. I would like to say that if I could see God like that, I would find it easier to live a life of righteousness rather than doubt.
But would I?
All around us, everyday, God is present. In the sunrises, in the new life of spring, everywhere we turn, He can be seen. Yet we so easily turn our eyes from Him.
Father, forgive my forgetfulness - my short-sighted vision that can only see the problems I encounter rather than the work of Your hands. Help me to be a blessing to someone today, so You might be glorified.
