Guidance in Christ: (Contn.) At the command of the LORD they remained encamped, and at the command of the LORD they journeyed; they kept the charge of the LORD, at the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses (Nu. 9:23). Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in the Spirit did not permit them (Ac. 16:6-7). Moses and the priests: The glory cloud and the Ark of God were no substitute for God-ordained leadership. Moses heard God constantly and led his flock in the wilderness. The priests carried the Ark of God, guiding Gods people. Every time the cloud lifted and the Ark was ready to move, the priests blew the trumpet to direct the people to march on. Gods method is always man (Nu. 10:13). You may hear Gods voice in your spirit, and you may feel the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Still, you need godly leaders to guide you and confirm your calling. Hobab: In spite of all the these, Moses also sought the help of Hobab, his brother-in-law. Hobab was well-experienced in the wilderness, and he would guide them to water and pastures and warn them about dangerous places. Moses asked him to be their very eyes (Nu. 10:29-32). Even the great Moses who saw God face to face and heard His voice more than any man on this earth humbled himself to seek the the experienced help of ordinary Hobab. Really, God reveals His heart to the meek and humble. In Christ, you are blessed with five-fold ministries. Especially the ministry of a prophet helps greatly in finding Gods guidance. They are the eyes in the Body of Christ. Beloved, the Holy Spirit, your own spirit, your God-given leaders and the five-fold ministries are Gods special gifts to you. You are safe when you follow these precious means. He will guide you continually-gently-supernaturally-meticulously-specifically-orderly-totally. Take heart! Thank You, Lord, In the multitude of Your counsellors there is safety for me (Pr. 11:14). Because I am in Christ.
