Exodus 18:1-27; Psalms 56:1-57:11; Acts 10:1-23
And the cloud of the Lord was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. Numbers 10:34
Moses invited Hobab, his brother-in-law, to go with them as they journeyed through the wilderness. After all, he was a Midianite and thus he knew the ways of life in the desert. Moses stated, “Thou mayest be to us instead of eyes” (Num. 10:31). Moses had taken his eyes off the Lord, whose eyes were ever upon him for good. The cloud by day was hovering above him and was ever ready to lead them on. The world is never a good substitute for the divine guidance that comes from God. —Sam Thorpe
When we walk with the Lord,
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way. —J. H. Sammis
