Scripture
Numbers 9:23 At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed; they kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

Observation
The Israelites had a visible sign of what God's will was for them. Whenever the cloud moved they moved, whenever the cloud stopped they stopped.

Application
At times I wish that God would show His will to me by a physical sign such as this. It would cost me less time in talking to Him and actually seeking what He would have for me. That is probably the reason why He doesn't work that way with me. He wants that personal relationship with me and that can only come from spending time together.

Prayer
Thank you Father for wanting that relationship with me. I pray that I never take it for granted. That I walk in the fear of the Lord, understanding how much you love me. Amen
