Guiding Pillar

Exodus 13: 21-22:

"The LORD was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people."

Exodus 14:19:

"The angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them."

--Is 'the angel of God' Jesus?

God, please be my guiding pillar and MAKE me follow. When I look at clouds in the future, please remind me that you were once leading the Israelites in a pillar of cloud, and that you can guide us(me) today as well, although we're in a different context. Thank you.
