Exodus 13:17-18 says. " It so happened that after Pharaoh released the people, God didn't lead them by the road through the land of the Philistines, which was the shortest route, for God thought, " If the people encounter war, they'll change their minds and go back to Egypt." So God led the people on the wilderness road, looping around to the Red Sea. The Israelites left Egypt in military formation.
In this episode we are talking about destiny, detours and dead-ends. God is our personal GPS and guides us through the road of life, this does not exempt us from detours. We have to learn how to discern the difference between detours and dead-ends. Detours are alternate routes to our destiny. Detours do not disappoint, but dead-ends do.
