"Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, "Arise, O LORD, may your enemies be scattered, and may those who hate you flee before you." And when it came to rest, he would say, "Bring back, O LORD, the myriads of Israel's troops!"" Numbers 10:35-36
Can you imagine the awesome power of God being in your presence? You would see the cloud indicate it was time to move, everything would be packed up and the ark would move. The life of the Israelites revolved around the ark of the Covenant, it became central to where they went and where they stayed. There is reassurance in knowing, truly knowing that you are being guided by God. I believe we can have this today and it begins each day when the trumpet sounds to get up and be in His presence. We are sent into the day battle ready with blessed assurance. At night we return knowing that there is a power, God, greater than ourselves. God calls each of us to the temple, He calls us to allow our life to revolve around Him in prayer and in action. How would you feel seeing the Israelites coming, seeing the awesome power of God and you were looking from the outside. The trumpet is sounding, heed the call.
What is God saying to me: I go with you today, I am leading the way, there is nothing to fear.
Dear Father, a life that revolves around You is a life that is peaceful. It is not without its challenges but there is a comfort in knowing you are not alone. I pray for willing hearts to hear the call of Your trumpet to come and be guided by Your Holy Spirit. Prayers for friends today who are dealing with cancer, may they recognize the peace of Christ in their lives and be at ease. The ark of the covenant will lead them if they will allow it, they will find rest. I trust in You, Jesus, You are the source of all Joy, watch over this day. Amen.
Mary, The Ark of the Covenant, pray for us.
