We’re going to take a big chapter jump forward in our study of Israel’s story. The Israelites have been at the base of Mount Sinai for most of the book of Exodus, all of Leviticus, and the first part of Numbers. Now they are getting ready to move. And as they prepare, Moses notes how they are learning to follow God. It is a step by step discipline. Not running ahead and not dragging behind, but rather being attentive to God’s direction and responding. This is a lesson we need to embrace as well. Many of the struggles and trials of our life are for this very purpose – to teach us to follow the Lord step by step. We’ll see how God taught them this lesson, and we’ll take a look at some other Scriptures that help us understand how to follow God’s leading in our lives.
