I was reading the book of Exodus two nights ago, and when I read this verse, I was deeply touched in my heart, for it speaks of a Father's love..
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people.
(Exo 13:21-22)
And it certainly boosted my faith, knowing that the LORD my God is always with me, with his pillar of cloud by day and his pillar of fire by night, protecting me always, and never leaving me..
This afternoon, I decided to have my lunch at the office balcony instead, so I took my lunchbox out and sat down on the chair along the aisle. But before I could even take a few spoonfuls of my rice, I felt raindrops at my feet. So, in faith, I said in my heart, "God, let the rain stop.. let me finish my lunch first." On the aisle, I could already see raindrops appearing on the floor. As I looked up, I noticed it had started drizzling. I then decided to at least take a few more mouthfuls :p Just then, I realised the raindrops were no longer falling on my feet, and there were no new raindrops on the ground either.. When I looked up, the rain had stopped!! Immediately, I knew it could only be God! So, with thanks, I continued with my lunch :D
After I finished eating, I decided to pray and give thanks to God for answering my prayers as I meditated on Exo 13:21-22. After I finished praying, I felt little raindrops on my feet again. So, with a big smile on my face, that was when I stood up from my seat and slowly walked down the aisle and out of the balcony :)
Amen.
God is good.. God is with us and God hears us.
