Exodus 13:21~ “By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.”

Last week, I read in the book of John, specifically about Jesus being the Light of the World. 

This week, I read a passage in Exodus I’d read several times before. But this time, it was like a light bulb going off. I made the connection between the Pillar of Fire that led the Israelites in the desert.

 This, I believe, was a precursor—a direct correlation to Jesus being the Light!

There really is something to be said about “digging deeper” into the Word, isn’t there? Every time I read the Word, I learn something new.

(About a year ago, a massive Pillar of Cloud appeared over northern Israel. With the help of modern technology, you can “see” what the Pillar of Cloud in the Bible looked like. Just Google “Pillar of Cloud in the Bible).

Seasons To Fill Our Hearts With Joy

Acts 14:17- “Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”

Springtime in Arizona is gloriously beautiful, although both the morning and mid-afternoon sun make for brutal driving conditions. This year, we are also experiencing unprecedented winds.

Other parts of the country have met with heavy rains, flooding, and devastating snowstorms. 

Ah, nature.

Does the weather simply change from time to time, of its own accord? Or, is there a controlling force behind it all?

The Bible tells us in Matthew 8:27 that the forces of nature obey Christ’s voice; In the days of Noah, he brought about a great flood; and used the wind in Exodus to carry in locusts. And Acts 14 attributes the seasons to our wonderful and caring God.

The change of seasons is just another of the hundreds of ways that God reminds us that He is in control of things in heaven and on earth. And His beautiful rainbow after a rain magnificently displays His awesome power and His promises to His people.
