And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent. As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke with Moses. Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent. The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.Exodus 33:8-11

While reading this passage I was reminded of the church meeting together on Sundays. Praise God that He descends down and meets with His people as we are in worship and fellowship together. Just as that pillar of cloud would come down and God would enter the tent, so God comes down and meets with His people in our midst.

In those times however, the cloud would always depart. We as sons and daughters of the Lord Jesus Christ never have to depart from the presence of God. We should be carriers of that presence where ever we go. Just as Moses would meet with God in the tent, people should be able to meet with God through the Holy Spirit we carry.

Praise God that the pillar of smoke is no longer leading the people on the outside but has entered His people to lead them into Christ.

Amen,
