How does God lead you? Do you wish He led you with a cloud by day and fire by night like He did the children of Israel while in the desert? That method seems so clear and concrete to us today, while we sometimes struggle to know what God would have us do in situations. Other times we know exactly what we should do, but maybe we just can't find the strength or courage to do it. That is one thing that is clear from Numbers 9, the children of Israel followed the cloud without deviation. Does God still lead us in clear, concrete ways today? Absolutely! Almost exactly four years ago I joined with my Dad and a friend of his in a day of fasting over direction in our jobs. I went to work that day as normal. Shortly before noon my boss shows up with his boss and they ask me to lunch unexpectedly (irony alert). During the course of that lunch, God made it abundantly clear to me that it was time to start looking for another job and within a few weeks I had one. It was as clear to me as a cloud in the sky. There were no questions. Looking back, since that day my Dad has a new and better job in ministry and I believe the third man has a different job as well. This is just one small example, but God certainly leads us in clear, concrete ways today. Just not every time.
