When God Puts You In A Cloud

W

You simply sit there with him. In the dark. In the unknowing. In the awkwardness. For however long it lasts.

The other option is running out into the light. Where you can see clearly. Where everything is familiar. Where life is just as you are used to it being.

But God may not be there with you. At least not in the same way. While you may not be sinning in some grievous way, or dooming yourself to a miserable life, (God is more gracious than that), you may be missing out on the best. Sometimes the greatest treasure, the richest blessings, that thing you could never gain for yourself, is hidden in the cloud.

God putting you in a cloud is better than you putting yourself out in the daylight.

The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you.” Then Moses told the Lord what the people had said.
