Exodus 14-15
The children of Israel have been delivered from Egyptian bondage. They are on their way out of Egypt because of the shed-blood of the Passover lamb.

I got out my maps and looked at the geography of the land and I saw that from Egypt where Israel was, into the land where they were to go was really a journey of about 150 miles. Maybe about like a trip from here to Orlando. It was not a long journey and they could have made that journey in a brief period of time. Yet, God did not lead them in the most direct route, but rather the Bible says he led them through the wilderness. Perplexing circumstances. Life sometimes is like that. Life is not always lived in straight lives. Sometimes we go the round about way. In Deut. 8 the Lord tells why HE led them that way. He said, “I led you through the wilderness to humble thee, to prove thee, to find what was in ...
