August 14

By a pillar of cloud you led them in the day, and by a pillar of fire in the night to light for them the way in which they should go.

Nehemiah 9:12 ESV

Jesus has always been shepherding His people.

And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night. (Exodus 14:19-20 NKJV)

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Ps. 119:105)

…Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, your darkness shall be as the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually… (Is. 58:10-11 NKJV)

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

(John 8:12 NKJV)

Jesus is the light of our life, showing us the way to go. His promise is to never leave us. His light is always there to guide us. When there is darkness and confusion, turn to the Word, let Jesus show you the way you should go. Or better yet, just cling to Him. He IS the way.
