12 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go (Nehemiah 9:12).
Inherent in God’s sovereignty is the idea that God leads His people. We know where to go when we keep our eyes fixed on God. God never leaves without a way of following Him. Regardless of whether it is day or night, God can be visible to us. The exact place where God leads us may not be known to us ahead of time; but regardless, it is the place we should be. This is the sovereignty of God that we should follow Him. The first command of Jesus in the New Testament is to follow. Christ is the pillar we are to keep our eyes fixed and He is the way that leads to life.
