"So they set out from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey. And the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them." Numbers 10:33
Interesting how God gave the Israelites green light to start a new phase in their pilgrimage towards the promised land. They needed to get the instructions and the preparation they got from their stationary experience in Mount Sinai. In the same way, God has a special purpose for every season He allows in our lives, and we need to learn to be led by the Holy Spirit so we can walk thru and stay in every season in complete sync with the creator of the journey and its destination. As my youth pastor once told me, don't be afraid, if you trust Him, he'll never let you get lost. In fact, He's given us a plain revelation of our destination: Christ-likeness. (Romans 8:29). In every season and every stretch, whether it feels like life is quite stationary or moving forward by leaps and bounds, God is forming Christ in us. It takes a life journey to get there, but that is the destination and we will safely arrive. It's His promise to us. (Phil 1:6) Let us enjoy the ride and let Him set the pace.
