When Moses finally led the people through the Red Sea to the freedom from slavery, the people celebrated. But, it didn't last long. They suddenly realized they were in the wilderness - in the desert. It wasn't like what they were used to. They had gone off the map. They weren't ready for it. It made them anxious. They complained. But, it also led to a much deeper formation of their faith. God continues to walk with us through this same journey today.
