BUT if the cloud did not lift (Exodus 40:36-37)

 In all the travels of the Israelites,

whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle,

they would set out;

BUT if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—

until the day it lifted.

Exodus 40:36-37
Anyone who knows me - knows I love to travel. It's crazy to think back to Bible time when God showed Himself in physical ways. Can you imagine that you would know when to go different places based on watching the clouds.
Some may say that would make life easier.
Nah- I like it this way-just pay attention and God will tell you what you are supposed to do.
