To Follow God's Precense

Numbers 9:21-23
21 Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out. 22 Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out. 23 At the LORD's command they encamped, and at the LORD's command they set out. They obeyed the LORD's order, in accordance with his command through Moses.

the Israelites were obedient to the Lord. They knew that His presence was over them and they followed Him where He went. If God's presence left them, they would follow Him. If God presence stayed there, they would also stay there. A lot of times, we go where we want to go. I want to go out. I want to go to the club. I want to go drinking. We never follow where God's presence is, we only follow our own self.

We need to follow Him more. I need to know where God leads me and I need to follow Him instead of following wherever I want to go.

Father, I thank you for your word. I pray that your words speak into my life. Let me follow you where ever you go. Lord, I pray that I lose to myself and all that I want to go, but I follow you where you are. I want to stay in your presence where you are. Lord, let me be able to discern you and able to know where you want to lead me to. I thank you and I give you all the praises in Jesus name.
Amen.
