Numbers 9:15-18 (HCSB)
Guidance by the Cloud
15 On the day the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony, and it appeared like fire above the tabernacle from evening until morning. 16 It remained that way continuously: the cloud would cover it, appearing like fire at night. 17 Whenever the cloud was lifted up above the tent, the Israelites would set out; at the place where the cloud stopped, there the Israelites camped. 18 At the Lord’s command the Israelites set out, and at the Lord’s command they camped. As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they camped.

Psalm 19:14 says, “May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my ROCK and my REDEEMER.” There are so many names for God, but those are two of my favorites. I need a Rock because many times I'm like the sand. I need a Redeemer because many times I'm bent towards sin. When I think of Jesus being our sacrificial Lamb, many times the song “Holy Forever” does as well, and also “My Redeemer Lives”! Others . . . “Worthy Is The Lamb”, “Thank You For The Cross”, 
and I could go on and on listing songs of worship. Most of the time we make a big deal about our hobbies, vacations, job, entertainment, our kids, favorite team, & our stuff; you know, things that make us look good & feel important, but the theme of our lives should be “Making Much of JESUS”! We need to start making a big deal about HIM throughout our day and in our conversations, posts, and tweets (-: 1 Corinthians 10:31- “So, whether you eat or drink, or WHATEVER you do, do ALL to bring glory to God.”
