"By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way." — Exodus 13:21

Have you seen The Prince of Egypt (1998), produced by DreamWorks Animation? It’s based on the Book of Exodus from the Bible and tells the story of Moses, from being an Egyptian prince to leading the Israelites out of Egypt after resisting Pharaoh’s rule.

What the movie doesn’t show is that the people Moses led, fearing Pharaoh’s army would catch up to them, had to camp in the wilderness. God cared for these homeless refugees, not only providing food but also guiding them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, never leaving them. — Exodus 13:22

In your everyday life, when your eyes are open, you need guidance—someone to show you where to go. In the darkness, you need light to know where to rest. This inspired the creation of two works: Day Angel and Night Angel.

It's also worth mentioning that the film’s theme song, When You Believe, performed by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, was a huge commercial success and won the Oscar for Best Original Song. I offer this powerful song of hope once again to you as you view this painting.

As long as you believe, anything is possible.
