Road Blocks

Read Exodus 14

So because of their fear, whining, & despair in verses 10-12, I wonder if in verse 19 where it says
"... Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so that NEITHER went near the other all night."
Not only was God preventing the Egyptians from getting to the Isrealites but it sounds like He was also preventing the Isrealites from getting back to the Egyptians so that they couldn't turn back to their "comfort" in Egypt.
This would be proof to me that sometimes God has to put up road blocks in our lives to force us out of our comfort zones and keep us on His path.

-What areas​ in your life have you fought to stay in your comfort zone and God is clearly pushing you out to follow His path?

Father, thank you so very much for loving us so much that you refuse to let us stay where we do not belong. Thank you for pulling us out of our comfort and for putting up road blocks when need be to prevent us from returning to it. Lord Jesus, we know that your are the way, the truth, and the life. Lord open our eyes and hearts to your ways for your ways are always the best way for us.
Thank you Jesus for your unconditional love for us.
In your name I pray,
Amen
