In our study of Jesus throughout Scripture we have been finding the scripture references that depict him in each book of the Bible. Let’s recap on the first three books shall we?
In Genesis 3:15, He is the Seed of the woman.
In Exodus 12:3, He is the Passover Lamb.
In Leviticus 9:22, He is our Great High Priest
MOVING ON
The next book is of course Deuteronomy. In chapter one of that book Moses is telling the Israelite’s how he listened to them and sent spies into the promised land and yet the people were still too afraid to follow the Lord in to take possession of the land.
He tells them,
Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified or afraid of them. The LORD your God who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes. and in the wilderness where you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.” Yet for all that, you did not believe the LORD your God, who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day.
Deuteronomy 129-33 NKJV
In the end of this section of scripture is where we find Jesus our Lord leading the Israelite’s. Covering them by night and by day.
So in Deuteronomy Jesus is The Pillar of Fire by night and The Pillar of Cloud by day.
Can you imagine what it was like to follow Him as a cloud by day and fire by night?
Really y’all I’m just another Samaritan woman seeking living water and pouring out where I see need for encouragement. I am 48, mother to four girls ages 16-26, Gigi to the most handsome 2-year-old little boy, Fibromyalgia warrior, minister, writer, and a lifetime learner.
I am writing my first book, slowly but surely, six chapters in, as our blessed first love has called me to share His glory in my story. I feel lost in that familiar desert place, and thankful for the manna that is there miraculously every day. I am overcoming hour by hour the condemning voices of the enemy and learning to love myself. It has been an arduous journey. This wordsmith journey, but so worth it.
I became a licensed minister in 2010. However, I do not currently work in the ministry. I share Christ's love through devotional blogging. I have a degree in Church Ministry, was pursuing my degree in Christian Care and Counseling at Oral Roberts University, but now am pursuing Life Coaching, and Neurolinguistic Programming Master Practioner Certifications and a business license.
I am a certified women’s biblical counselor through the Extraordinary Women's program at Light University. I am working on their Addiction and Recovery program now too. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment with a wealth of life experiences with which I can minister comfort to others. I'm a lover of a good book, writing, singing, and music, and my nemesis is the perpetual laundry pile. Blessings to you and yours, <3Melinda
