Ex. 40 [The Message]
I have focused on this point before in years passed, but it bears repeating.
The Cloud of God’s Glory and Presence would descend upon the Tabernacle (Tent of Meeting) and the Hebrews could see it. When it lifted, they knew it was time to follow it to a new location. God led them by this method.
Although we can’t really see a visible Cloud or Pillar of Fire these days, we can be aware of God’s endorsement in life’s choices. For instance, I don’t see God’s endorsement upon political candidates who favor taking the life of defenseless, unborn infants in the womb of their mother.To me, if a candidate gets it wrong on this issue, I don’t trust him/her on any decision they make. But, if they support life for the unborn, I can cut them much slack on other issues they encounter in government.
Now, go vote soon.
