"The Guiding Cloud and Fire"

Sometimes, no matter how long I think about a decision, I can’t seem to find a clear answer. I can easily slip into rumination and anxiety. We all need God’s guidance.

Looking back over my life, I can say it was not my wisdom or intelligence that guided me, but rather it was God alone.

Former NFL quarterback and current broadcaster Tim Tebow has relied on God’s guidance both in sports and in his transition to a career beyond football.

In 2011, Tebow led the Denver Broncos to several comeback victories, even securing a playoff win in dramatic fashion against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although Tebow was a celebrated athlete, his NFL dream did not unfold as expected.

Facing a series of rejections, Tebow described the difficulty of not knowing his next steps and feeling that his dream career was slipping away, despite his hard work and determination. He channeled this belief into other ventures, finding new purpose in broadcasting, minor league baseball, and philanthropic work. He followed the providential guidance of God in his life.

Tebow said, “I don’t know what my future holds, but I do know who holds my future.”

When the Israelites journeyed through the desert, God appeared as a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, guiding their way. Deuteronomy assures us that God “will go before you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Jesus promises that we’re not left as orphans. In your wilderness, God’s presence lights the way. Picture Him as your guide, leading through the unknown, illuminating every dark path.

Like a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, God leads you through life’s wilderness.

Today, let His faithful guidance be your comfort—your light in the night, your direction in the day.
