WHO LEADS YOUR LIFE ?

In the animal kingdom, some animals move in groups. In this case we talk about a pack. The leader of this pack is distinguished by his position within this group. He is generally at the head of the pack. This position allows him to guide, direct and lead the group, the herd, the pack. But when the herd is attacked, the leader of the pack or herd positions himself to protect the herd or pack. In this case, he moves to the rear, between the rest of the herd and the enemy who is attacking and threatening the herd. So the leader of a herd or pack can be either at the front or at the back.

In the book of #Exodus_14, we see the Israelites coming out of Egypt being threatened by the Egyptian army in the desert. Israel sees the Egyptian army pursuing them in order to exterminate them, so the God who was standing in front of them to lead them by the pillar of cloud and fire changes position to stand at the back to come between the enemies and Israel.

TO DEFEND YOU, THE ETERNAL YOUR GOD CHANGES POSITION
