The Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Weather (5)" Bible Reading: Exodus 13:20-22 for Thursday, 4 August 2016Exodus 13:20 They traveled from Sukkot and set up camp in Etam, at the edge of the desert. 21 Adonai went ahead of them in a column of cloud during the daytime to lead them on their way, and at night in a column of fire to give them light; thus they could travel both by day and by night. 22 Neither the column of cloud by day nor the column of fire at night went away from in front of the people.

When my children were little, we liked to look at clouds. Some looked like an elephant or a crocodile. Others looked like the face of a person or a flower.
I have seen some awesome clouds in my life. But I think nothing can compare with the cloud talked about in our Bible Reading today. These verses tell us that God visibly led the Israelites out of Egypt on their journey to a new land. "During the day, he used a tall cloud to lead the people. And during the night, he used a tall column of fire to lead the way" (verse 21b).
That cloud must have been very large and very special. It would have been easy for the Israelites to follow it. Sometimes I wish that God would use a special cloud to help me know which way I should go in life. But He doesn't do that! Instead, I have God's Word, the Bible, to be my guide through life. Follow the Bible today. God's Word will help you stay on the right path.[JK]
"All Scripture is given by God. And all Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives. It is useful for correcting faults and teaching the right way to live."[2 Timothy 3:16]
PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your Word. In Jesus' name. Amen.
