You have to work at it to miss the point of Numbers 9:15-23.
God's people were camped in the wilderness without a map or GPS or compass. Essentially, they were lost.
However, wherever they turned there was this cloud of smoke and at night this pillar of fire. These eye-catching visions were better than a map; they represent the presence of the invisible God. The people didn't have a clue where they were, or where they were going, but they were living in the moment, within God's holy tent city: they could see The Presence, even if they couldn't feel it.
When God moved, the cloud moved; when the cloud moved, they moved. When the cloud stopped, they camped. All they had to do was camp in His Presence.
The message of Numbers 9 that applies to our times is: It's wasn't that important that they had a clear vision of where they were going, what was important was that the I AM was with them, regardless.
I have spent the last few months wandering around among numerous options wishing I knew which way to go. I have longed for direction while forgetting the The Presence. That stops now!
When God is ready to move, I am ready. The adventure is unknown, but the fellowship is certain.
How about you? Oh, I think the cloud is moving...
