Before we go, I wanna talk about power moving for you.
Because in this text, when god is orchestrating what will be their deliverance.
We see the clouds that we’re going ahead of them move behind them.
So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel.
Thus, it was a cloud and darkness to the 1. And it gave light by night to the other.
There is so much that I’ve studied here.
But one of the things that god showed me in this text is that he takes, so I’m always searching when I’m reading and studying.
I’m like, god, what does this reveal to me about your character?
How what should I know about you as a result of how you showed for them because you are so consistent.
You are so faithful. If I can take something from then, I can apply it to now.
When he puts the cloud behind them, and it’s dark for the Egyptians, but light for the Hebrews.
It helped me to see that god will create a covering.
So you weren’t practicing in front of your enemies.
That’s really good for me. I don’t know about you.
I’m a cover you.
So you’re I know everybody wants he’ll prepare a table for you in the presence of your enemy.
That’s what we wanna hear, but sometimes we don’t make a move because we’re afraid to have to practice in front of our enemies.
But if they will trust that god is actually covering the gut says, I’m gonna put your enemies in the dark while you practice your strategy.
There are some people who should be talking about you.
Talk about the ones who got something to say, but there are some people that if they really knew how you messed up along the way, they would have so much more to say.
But because covered you from the perspective of your enemies, you were able to build without division, sometimes god covering you in the presence of your enemies, is god making some people betray you.
Sometimes it’s letting some people walk away from you because I didn’t want you to have to step into your destiny with an audience that would be in you while I am trying to bless you.
