Follow the Light

Today I read Numbers 9:13-11:4 and Luke 11:15-43. My favorite verses are:

Numbers 10:35-36 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee. 36And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.

Luke 11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

When Moses and the children of Israel began their travels through the wilderness, God’s Spirit came down on the tabernacle and glowed like fire so that the people could see Him. When He rose from the tabernacle, they knew it was a signal to move to another place. Moses prayed a prayer for the Lord to go before His people when they moved and another prayer for the Lord to return to His people when they made camp. In Luke Jesus reminded His disciples to let their light be seen. Hopefully, when others see the Light of Jesus in us, they will be moved to follow God. We must not fail to go where God leads us and be a light so that others can see the way and go with us.
