Embrace the Dawn of Forgiveness
Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.—Matthew 26:75 (NIV)
He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night.—Psalm 78:14 (NIV)
WHEN GOD LED His people out of slavery, He led them by a cloud during the day to signify His presence. When the cloud appeared (despite it making them fearful) it led them to safety. Sometimes we cannot understand what is happening. All might look dark, but the truth is there is no cloud of trouble that will ever darken Jesus’ presence and protection in your life.
Dear Lord, when I feel lost, help me remember that You always go before me, behind me, and beside me.
