And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: and it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night (Exodus 14:19-20).

I remember one particular year when it was raining heavily in our area and some of our neighbors’ homes were experiencing flooding. Of course, we prayed over our house, and one day I said to my husband, “We won’t have any floods in our house because it is always light in Goshen!” Of course, I was referring to the plague of darkness that fell on Egypt while it remained light in Israel and how God always separated His people from destruction (see Exod. 10:22-23). When Israel was finally delivered from Egypt and then, shortly thereafter, pursued by the chariots of Pharaoh, God once again sent an angel to stand between Israel and Egypt and the two were separated. In Exodus 14:19-20, the angel brought the pillar that was light to Israel and darkness to the Egyptians.

Never forget that the light of God stands between you and the world today and separates you. When darkness is upon the world, the light of deliverance will always be given unto you!

Lord, I thank You that a light has been given unto me that separates me from the world. When evil comes upon the earth, I know that it shall not befall my dwelling. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
