Promise 40 from Exodus 16:10

Ex. 16:10 - "It came about as Aaron Spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud." - Usually when I think of the wilderness, I think of hot, barren land with snakes, lizards, sage brush, no shade and very dry. Growing up in the hot Mojave desert I remember it being such a great relief when the rare little cloud would bring a bit of shade from the sun in the summer. Spiritually we think of the wilderness as being a dry, alone place where we long to hear the voice of the Lord or to see Him bring us relief from whatever burdens we face. The Israelites looked toward the wilderness, they looked toward the direction of adversity and there they saw the glory of the Lord in the cloud. He met them right at the time where they were hot, hungry, homeless and unhappy. The Lord will meet you in your wilderness times, He will bring relief in the clouds. You will know He is your God.
