His Spiritual Cloud – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 10th

(Christ Is Your New Spiritual Environment)

TO THE BIBLE: Nehemiah 9:12 TLB
“You led our ancestors by a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night so that they could find their way.”

LET’S TALK
The opening verse brings to mind what happened to the children of Israel as they journeyed out of Egypt. The Bible tells us in Exodus 13:21-22, that they carried their own atmosphere through the wilderness for forty years.

Nehemiah also referenced this atmosphere of bliss in which the children of Israel lived. Nehemiah 9:21 (AMPC) says, “Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell.”

The Lord hasn’t changed. The Father’s loving-kindness didn’t end with the children of Israel; it’s even better with us today.

When you were born again, you were born into God’s glory; born into God’s spiritual cloud; that’s the Holy Spirit.

You live in His presence, in a divine atmosphere of joy, bliss, and glory, where you’re sustained and nurtured by Him, absolutely independent of circumstances.

You’re fully at rest. Those who live outside this atmosphere of bliss are the ones who face disappointments, anger, frustration, and discomfort; always agitated from within because nothing seems to be going on right.

But in Christ, which is the supernatural environment you were born into, your joy and satisfaction overflows. His presence in, with, and about you makes you an oasis of love in a troubled world.

Be mindful of this always. There could be chaos or anarchy everywhere, but in Him, you’re at peace and in safety. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, your presence in, with, and about me makes me an oasis of love and grace in a troubled world. I’m born from above; I live the heavenly life here on earth, nurtured by your divine love, and enwrapped in your kindness, glory, and righteousness. Hallelujah!
