Overcoming Obstacles: God’s Guidance and the Power of Obedience
Introduction
Many people seek solutions to their problems in God. It is a great saying: “God does not tell you the size of your problem, but tells the problem the size of your God.” Why? Because in one way or another, we face problems in our path, and to raise our eyes to these “hills,” we seek help correctly only in the Lord.

God Guides in the Problem
There were two ways from Egypt to Canaan. One was only a few days of travel, the other was much longer, going into the wilderness, and that was the path God chose to lead his people Israel.
EXOD0 c13-v17
When he let out the people, God did not guide them by the route of the land of the Philistines, although this was the shortest way, for he said: If they are confronted with war, they may repent and return to Egypt.
18 So God led the people to get around the wilderness, following the path that leads to the Red Sea. Israelis saw Egypt prepared to fight.
21 During the day the Lord went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on the road, and by night a pillar of fire, to light them, and so they could walk day and night.
