What does it say?
God put a cloud over the Tabernacle by day and a pillar of fire by night. When the cloud moved or stayed, the Israelites would move or stay with it accordingly.
What does it mean?
In those days, Israel lived in tents. They had no houses yet. They could move from place to place quickly. Their mobility would help them find food, avoid enemies, and adjust to diverse living conditions throughout the year. They always knew where God wanted them to go. He gave them a visible sign by day and night. From anywhere in the camp they could see if it was time to stay or time to leave. They never had to wonder what God’s will was for their lives because He spelled it out in great detail through Moses and led them from place to place during their time in the wilderness.
How should I respond?
Do you ever wonder what God wants you to do with your life? For that matter, do you wonder what God wants you to do today? Just like the Israelites looked toward the Tabernacle every day to see what God wanted for their day, so we can look to God in prayer daily. Another way we can connect with God daily is to read the Bible. It is His letter to us, and it is full of great instructions for how we can live our lives. When we read Scripture it’s like listening to God talk, and when we pray we’re talking to God. He wants to lead you day to day. Are you having a daily conversation with God?

In the book of Numbers, God demonstrates himself as a pillar of fire and a pillar of smoke, faithfully leading his often rebellious people through the wilderness. Although the faithless wilderness generation was barred from entering the promised land, God was raising up a generation to lead the people from their wandering into the conquest of the land of Canaan.
