14. In the daytime also he led them with a cloud. He did it all. He alone. He brought them into the wilderness,
and he led them through it; it is not the Lord’s manner to begin a work, and
then cease from it while it is incomplete. The cloud both led and shadowed the
tribes. It was by day a vast sunscreen, rendering the fierce heat of the sun
and the glare of the desert sand bearable. And all the night with a light offire. All and every night the token of his presence was with his people.
The grace which calms our joys soothes our sorrows. We have felt him to be both
shade and light, according as our changing circumstances have required.
