Num 9:19 Even when the cloud continued long, many days above the tabernacle, the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD and did not journey.
The pillar of cloud directed and determined all the motions, marches and encampments of the Israelites in the wilderness. As long as the cloud rested upon the tabernacle, though for a month or a year, they also rested.
Although they were very desirous to arrive in Canaan within the shortest time possible, they submitted to the will of God. It was very comfortable and pleasant moving when they saw God moving in front of them and resting where He appointed them to rest.
Dear believer, there is no time lost when we are waiting on God’s time. In our actions and affections, we must be within God’s timeframe. For so long as the ” clouds remain” , we must not set out.
