Chapter 13 - The Pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire
What do we learn from this lesson?
1. God always protects His people. There was great crying in Egypt but among
God’s people there was complete silence. There will always be a great difference
between the non-Christian and the Christian in how we handle the same issues of
life. God always makes a difference!
2. Blood was always shed as a sign of forgiveness of sin. Christ’s own death was
for the same purpose of shedding the blood necessary for the covering of our
sin. That night in Egypt was a sign of God’s protection from the death promised
to the first born of Egypt and all who neglected to follow God’s plan to protect
His people from death that night.
3. All these great things that God had done for Israel was to be remembered and
never forgotten. Each generation was to remind the
succeeding one of the greatness of God less these wonders and miracles of God be
lost. Is this not the problem of our generation today? We have forgotten the
ancient paths of honesty, decency, and loyalty to God that we once held.
4. The amazing event of the whole journey from slavery to freedom is God’s
protection. A pillar of fire to lead the way and a pillar of cloud to shield
them from their enemy. This has always been God’s way with His people. If we
trust His leadership, we will have no need to fear our enemies, but if we leave
His leading, we have just cause to fear even the least of our enemies.
Prayer:
Dear God, You have done g great things for Thy people! Please continue to lead
us we pray. May we always rest under Thy protecting hand. In Jesus’ name we
pray. Amen.
