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.

When the children of Isreal came out of Egypt, they did not know what they had. Neither did they understand who they were in Christ. 

Exodus 13:18 (KJV),  But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

The world harnessed means able-bodied soldiers. The children of Isreal came out of Egypt armed and fully equipped solder but did not recognize that. They still had the mentality of being a slave. They did not know what God had given them, and they did not know what they could do in the name of God.

We all need something to separate us from all that the devil has to offer, and that is the wall of love, faith, and belief in the Holy Ghost through Jesus Christ.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 King James Version

1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 King James Version

1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Genesis 2:1-6 King James Version

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
