Morning by Morning, October 27 - Led by the Pillar of Cloud and Fire of the Holy Spirit
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Here I am, Lord. Steady me in Your Word and fill me with Your Spirit, as I walk out the steps of my day with You. ...
“The Lord went in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people” (Exodus 13:21-22).
That pillar of cloud and pillar of fire, that led Your people under the Old Covenant speak of the Holy Spirit of the Living God who now leads Your people under the New Covenant in Christ. “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God” (Romans 8:14).
The Cloud of Your Glory fills my heart, as Your Holy Spirit fills my body as Your temple. “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19). And the Fire of Your Presence consumes my heart with a burning Fire to follow You, as I seek to become more like You. “For indeed our God is a Consuming Fire” (Hebrews 12:29).
When I sense the Cloud and the Fire of Your Spirit leading me out into my day, give me Your holy sensitivity to know it’s time to go. Lead my heart and guide my steps. And when I sense the Cloud and Fire of Your Spirit holding steady, give me Your holy patience to wait on You and trust in Your timing. For from the day I welcomed Your Spirit into my heart -- “the Spirit of Christ” within me (Romans 8:9) -- my body was no longer my own and my life is no longer my own, for “(I) belong to Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:23). “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
So come, Holy Spirit -- Pillar of Cloud and Pillar of Fire, Spirit of the Living God and “Spirit of Christ” in me. Spirit, lead on.
“Make me know Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
For You I wait all the day” (Psalm 25:4-5).
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
