Follow the Cloud: Hearing God's Voice One Next Step at a Time by John Stickl
5.0
Numbers 9:16-20:
“The cloud would cover it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. Whenever the cloud was lifted from over the tent, afterward the sons of Israel would then set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the sons of Israel would camp. At the command of the LORD the sons of Israel would set out, and at the command of the LORD they would camp; as long as the cloud settled over the tabernacle, they remained camped. Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the sons of Israel would keep the LORD’S charge and not set out. If sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, according to the command of the LORD they remained camped. Then according to the command of the LORD they set out.”
Reading this book truly excited to follow the cloud, to follow Jesus. This book is so well written and very encouraging. It's filled with fresh knowledge and reminders, such as I’m not in charge. I’m being led by the cloud.
The Israelites, while lost and afraid, were led by the embodiment of Jesus. By day, a cloud, and by night, a pillar of fire. They stopped when it stopped and followed it when it moved. They didn’t know the end journey, only the next movement of the cloud. Jesus was leading them into the promise land, but he revealed the journey in segments. He doesn’t show you the finish line, but lights up the next step of the path along the way. We might be afraid, but we don’t have to be because we can trust in him.
Anyways, read this book. It's a good reminder, filled with love and encouragement. And, something you don't always get in this genre, John Stickl is a good writer who explains things thoroughly.
