Look to the Clouds
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.—Acts 1:9 (NIV)
In this scripture, and in different passages throughout the Bible, clouds symbolize divine presence. Other examples are when Moses ascended Mount Sinai and a cloud covered the mountain, or at Solomon’s dedication when a cloud filled the temple. The next cloudy day, pause to reflect on God’s use of clouds to remind us of His presence and to feel His comfort when it is overcast.
Heavenly Father, help me feel Your presence, in both cloudy and cloudless skies.

You Are Healed
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.—Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)
