[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Exodus Overview]] | [[Exodus 40]] ## Title: The Lord Goes With You ## Scripture: (Exodus 40:38) “For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, but fire would be on it at night, in plain view of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.” (NET) ## Observation: The journey through the wilderness was not easy. There were possibly a couple million Israelites and they all needed food, clothing, shelter, and direction. They also struggled to honor the Lord. We see constant issues arising and Moses gets so mad he sins against God. This sin keeps him from entering the Promised Land. However, despite all this, the Bible says that God continued to be with them throughout their journeys. In our journeys of life, we will go through good and bad times. We will have ups and downs. There will be seasons when we will feel we are on the right road and other seasons when we are certain we are lost. However, through it all, the Lord never leaves us. He is not a friend who is only around when things are good. He’s the best kind of friend who draws even closer during difficult times. ## Application: Take a moment and think of some of your most difficult seasons. Realize the Lord was there working behind the scenes to keep you and walk with you through it. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being our constant companion.
