If you feel like you are waiting on God or that He has you on a “detour” route, this is for you.
“God did not lead them on the road …that was shorter. God led them around by the desert road…” Exodus 13: 17-18
God could have chosen the shortcut. But He didn’t. He led them through the desert. Why? Because He was more concerned about saving their lives than saving some time. His heart was for them, even if they didn’t recognize it at the time.
And the same is true for you. You may see a different path than the one that God has chosen. He sees it too. But because He loves you, He chooses a different way. He knows the journey ahead. He knows the outcomes. And He knows what is best.
So, you can trust Him, even while walking the long way home. The path that feels like a desert road. He is with you. He is leading you. He is making a way. The best way. – Sandi
