God provided a cloud for the children of Israel to walk in by day; Walking through the wilderness of Sinai, they were safe, if their feet did not stray. The enemies of Israel were confounded; they could only watch with confusion; Earthly and sensual, they could not see, so they could come to no conclusion. As God’s born-again believers, walking through this world of today, We journey through a wilderness of sin and darkness and moral decay. Our enemies observe us as we walk in fellowship with God’s cloud of witnesses; Earthly and sensual, they do not understand our walk of mutual love and forgiveness. Scriptures admonish us to abide in the vine, sustained by God’s Living Water; With our fellow branches, we bask in warm Sonlight from the Father. The Root of Jesse bears us; we never stray off on our own. The enemy of our soul cannot get to us, if we never go it alone. The blood-bought church is our cloud in these last days; It shades us from the heat of persecution and all the devil’s worldly ways. Predatory eyes are confused and confounded by its Heavenly Mist; Our path becomes straight and narrow, as our Savior insists.
