I don’t want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters, about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground. In the cloud and in the sea, all of them were baptized as followers of Moses. – 1 Corinthians 10: 1-2(NLT)
GUIDED BY A CLOUD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Our ancestors were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them
It was a provision so they can go unharmed through the wilderness
All of them were baptized as followers of Moses
They all knew the promise of the coming of Jesus.
Remember that God is with his people always
Don’t turn your back on God’s faithfulness
Remember that you are being watched and protected
Look up to him and you will never be defeated.

I was fascinated by clouds since I was a child. I see images when I look at it and can imagine many things as I observe deeper. The cloud formations make me feel closer to God. It’s as if he is just behind each of the various shapes I see at various weather conditions. My favorite is the storm clouds towering over us because it seems so powerful and gives us a foreboding of the coming storm. Remember that God is always there watching over us during storms in our lives.
