In Exodus 14 God is now leading his people out of Egypt. Instead of leading them the shortest route through the area of the Philistines, He lead them out and around through the desert. Some may think this was a mistake, but it was a planned detour to teach the people about His faithfulness! As the Israelis were fleeing they began to realize the Egyptian army was following them. To make matters worse, Moses lead the people directly into a trap - the Red Sea.
