Every life is a pilgrimage. Every person is on a journey. Every journey has its challenges. The book of Numbers is a travel diary. Two million ex-slaves weaving their way through a desert. The trip from Egypt to the Promised Land can be made in less than 11 days. It took the Israelites 38 years.
What they should have done, they didn't. And what they didn't do, they should have. So God decided they needed some time to rethink a few things. He took them the long way.
Maybe you are on a detour in your journey. Things seem slow. Road seems dark. Maybe God is wanting to teach you a few things. Pay attention.
You don't want to spend 38 years missing the point.
