The Way of the Wilderness Exodus 13:17-18
When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land. God said, “If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led them in a roundabout way through the wilderness toward the Red Sea.Thus the Israelites left Egypt like an army ready for battle.
The wilderness is where the Lord worked things out of and in the children of Israel. It is a place of learning and developing and growth. The wilderness is not our destination.
1. There are no shortcuts to the promise
2. It's in the wilderness that you learn when and why to praise God.
3. It is in the wilderness where we experience God and learn His ways.
