By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.
Exodus 13:21 NIV
Many of us may want a pillar of cloud or fire to let us know which way we should go. But, God has given us his Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. He has given us the Bible. II Timothy 3:16-17 tells us, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God my be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Reading the Bible with humility and faith will allow the Holy Spirit to be your pillar of cloud and fire.
Humility is realizing who you are before God in Christ. We are all finite beings created in the image of God. While we were yet sinners Christ died so that we may be reconciled to God. Like Paul, I consider myself the chief of sinners. The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to teach us, to rebuke us, to correct us and train us in righteousness. The catch is; you have to read it.
I encourage you to allow the Holy Spirit to guide you by day and night by reading the Bible and let the Spirit, teach, rebuke, correct and train you in righteousness.
