“And now Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires you to fear him, to live according to his will, to love and worship him with all your heart and soul, and to obey the Lord’s commands and laws that I am giving you today for your own good.” Deuteronomy 10:12-13
How is it that you know you are in the Lord’s will? I want to share with you an incredible story of how the Israelites knew they were in the Lord’s will.
It is found in the book of Numbers 9:15-23. I encourage you to go back and read the whole passage, today I am just going to paraphrase.
It was visible for all to see, it was a cloud that covered the Tabernacle. It was a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. It was what would guide them through the wilderness with the help of Moses.
Here is how it worked. “But day or night, when the cloud lifted, the people broke camp and followed. Whether the cloud stayed above the Tabernacle for two days, a month, or a year, the people of Israel stayed in camp and did not move on. But as soon as it lifted, they broke camp and moved on. So they camped or traveled at the Lord’s command, and they did whatever the Lord told them through Moses.” Numbers 9:21-23
Now, that is following the will of the Lord. How many of us would love to have such guidance? Man I would and I know that when I seek the Lord and His word He will be that evident in my life.
Guys we serve an unbelievably big God!
Prayer: Jesus we seek Your will for our lives today and ask that you be as evident for us as You were for the Israelites. In Jesus name, Amen
