Neh 9:12 | KingComments | STEP | In the people are in the wilderness; in they are in the land. In every part of Israel’s history we see the interweaving of man’s unfaithfulness and the mercy of God. After their deliverance, He does not leave His people to their fate. He Himself goes before them and travels with them through the wilderness. His light shines on the path they must go.

‏ Nehemiah 9:12

The Pillar of Cloud and the Pillar of Fire

In Neh 9:12-21 the people are in the wilderness; in Neh 9:22-29 they are in the land. In every part of Israel’s history we see the interweaving of man’s unfaithfulness and the mercy of God. After their deliverance, He does not leave His people to their fate. He Himself goes before them and travels with them through the wilderness. His light shines on the path they must go.
