Exodus 12:22
And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
He took not away the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night from before the people.
The children of Israel were in such a way! They had just been thrust out of Egypt (yet God had given them favor among the Egyptians). They are now vagabonds, wandering through a wilderness carrying with them the 430 year old bones of the one who had opened their way into Egypt. All they have are those things they had borrowed from their oppressors. The Bible says they went "harnessed" from Egypt.
But God was with them. God was with them in a manifest way and God was with them in a continual way. Later Moses would beg God not to sent him any further except that God go with them. And he would know. That Pillar made it clear as to God's presence.
How we need a day and night presence of God in our lives.
