Exo. 13:17-18 “When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt armed for battle.”
When the Israelites began their journey, God specifically lead them in a path where they would avoid trouble and confrontation. This is what Christians would call the “honeymoon phase.” Did you experience something of this when you began your journey with God? Did you notice that God made things easy for you when you were born again? It is often the way as we take our first steps in the Lord. As God did for the nation of Israel as a whole, so He does for His people today.
