‘Meet the Lord God who leads His people on’ (Exodus 13:17-22)

When the Lord God led His people Israel out of Egypt, there was an ongoing need for the people to be led the right way. They did not necessarily know the way that God was taking them nor was it explained to them. All they knew what that God had a plan for them, and that plan involved leading the people into further trouble. This was not because He wanted to punsish them, but they might see the fulness of his saving power – being fulfilled right before their eyes. And so by night and by day, by pillar of cloud and fire, He led His people along.
