Is The Lord Leading Us, Really?

God knows that the children of Israel are weak. The Israelites are not ready for a fight. The shorter route to the promised land would bring them face to face with the philistines. They could be discouraged and return to Egypt. The God who sees everything changes the course and leads His people in the opposite direction. It may not be the most obvious way. It may not be the shortest way. But it is God's way.

As God's people when the LORD leads us to unfamiliar territory, We know reminds ourselves that the Lord knows what He is doing. And as long as He is present with us, then we can be sure that we are safe.
