I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 26th of July, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for today.

We start the Book of Deuteronomy 1:33 in the Old Testament,

”…to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day.”

Now we know very well the scripture in John 14:6. Jesus says:

”I am the way,…”

You might say that was for the old days. No, it’s not. Hebrews 13:8 says:

”Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

I was preaching at an open-air meeting in Tennessee, the United States of America. My dear friend, Pastor Alan Jackson, had organised a meeting for us on his campus in the open. It was in summer and it was extremely hot. There were thousands of people there. We stood on the platform and I could see the people were literally wilting under the heat. There were clouds above us and I asked the Lord, not quietly in my heart but openly and loudly, on the mic so that everybody could hear, “Lord, please put that cloud over the sun, so that we can get some shade.” And what happened, the Lord put that cloud over the sun for the whole time of that meeting.

Now I can hear somebody saying, ”Oh, that was just a coincidence.” But the miracle was, there were other clouds on either side of that cloud and the wind was blowing and the clouds were moving except that one cloud. How can you explain that? Well, how can you explain a miracle? The Lord says to you today, my dear friend, you have to have the faith to believe Him for the impossible. In that desert that the children of Israel walked through, they say at night it went to sub-zero conditions, it was so cold, and yet there was a pillar of fire. Not only did it protect them, it kept them warm. During the day, there was a cloud that they followed but the cloud wasn’t just for direction but it was to keep the sun off the children of Israel because the temperature there goes up to 50 degrees sometimes.

Jesus wants to direct your ways. He wants to shelter you. He wants to protect you. Please call unto Him and He will undertake for you.

Have a wonderful day,
Jesus bless you and goodbye.
