Daily Scripture
“Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.”
Exodus 40:34-38

When the Tabernacle was completed, the glory of God filled it, marking the physical presence of God among His people. The Israelites now had a tangible symbol of God's presence leading them on their journey. The cloud by day and fire by night reminded them of His constant guidance and care. Today, we have direct access to God's presence through Jesus, who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can always be near Him.
How do you experience God's presence in your life today, and how can you live in response to His nearness?
