The glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud

Exodus 16:10 "And it came to pass as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud"
Each of us should get into the habit of looking for the glory of the Lord in the storm clouds that hang over our lives. Once we have seen Christ in our situation, we need to focus on Him, rather than the dark gray center of the cloud. We are often easily discouraged, but beloved, God does not wish for us to give in to the deadly foe of discouragement, because that puts us in a "helpless" state in which we are not able to "stand against the devil's schemes" (Eph.6:11)
Look..from your wilderness..for the glory of God in your situation. I believe you will find Him. I believe that so often He is speaking to us..we just have trouble hearing because we have our mind tuned in to the circumstance in which we find ourselves, rather than our heart and our spirit..where Christ lives and breathes IN us. Jesus often speaks to us through His Word. He will sometimes speak through other people. Often, when I am not even expecting it, He will just "plant" something in my spirit..but He is continually speaking.
When you make a decision to wholeheartedly turn away from every symptom of doubt, discouragement, and lack of trust..when you make the choice to simply believe God..your faith will be reawakened..and the very breath of God's divine strength will begin to invade your very soul..you may not even realize it at first..but as you get determined to shun every tendency toward doubt and unbelief, you will begin to see the powers of darkness turned back.
If we could see into the unseen world, and know the mighty armies of strength and power that are always behind our turning to God, there wouldn't be any desire at all to "give in" to the enemy's ploy to push us down..to keep us discouraged..to riddle us with guilt..to make us question our God.
Child of God, look up! Look for Jesus in your situation. He is there. This is no time for our souls to retreat! Keep your eyes on Jesus!
