Summary

Sometimes we make things harder for ourselves than they would have been. For example, in Exodus chapter 13 verses 17-16 and 21-22, God had a plan for His people, and He had already set everything in motion according to His will. God makes a way for everyone just like He made a way for the children of Isreal. But He knew what they would do if He were to take them down the short path. If the children of Isreal would have trusted in God, and if they would have understood who they were in God, and would have understood that they were well-armed and able to fight the Egyptians. God would have taken them down the quicker, shorter path. And in so doing, they would have gone from Egypt to the promised land within a 40-days journey. They would have made it there quickly. But because they did not trust in God as they should have, nor did any understand who they were in God. They did not know what God had given them. So, God took them the long way, which resulted in their journey lasting around 40 years. So a 40-day trip turned into a 40-year journey. So don't make things harder for yourself.
