The cloud of protection

There is a Jewish idea from the Bible known as “ananei hakavod” which means the Cloud of Glory or the “cloud of protection”. The Jewish rabbis would say that God sent the ananei hakavod to shelter the Israelites while they were in the desert for 40 years. They believed that it was inside this cloud that God kept His people safe and miraculously provided for them. It was inside this cloud that God also made his people aware of His presence. This was where He sustained them, and it was into this cloud that God called Moses to present him with the 10 commandments.

Recently, while I was driving to my church office, I drove out from under some trees and looked up to see this spectacular, soaring cloud formation rising above the church building! I was reminded in a moment of ananei hakavod - the cloud of God’s glory and protection and provision. Perhaps today you need to let this image remind you that no matter what you may be going through, God is with you and God is for you.

And whenever you see a cloud today, be reminded that God is still able to provide for you, to protect you, to sustain you and to keep you safe - no matter what you’re facing.
