[:en]When the people of Israel were given freedom from the Egyptians after hundreds of years of bondage, they set off to the Promised land on the hard road through the desert. God used that time in the desert to instruct and mature the people He had called to follow Him. The long road prepared the national of Israel for their successful entry into the Promised Land.
“We may not understand the path we are in, but we can trust Him to help us grow in faith and maturity along the way” – Dave Branon[:]
