Deuteronomy 2:1-3 ” Then we turned back and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea, as the Lord had directed me. For a long time we made our way around the hill country of Seir. Then the Lord said to me, ‘You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north.’ “

Moses and the Hebrew children were wandering in the desert…for a long time it says they journeyed, when finally the Lord spoke to Moses…”It’s long enough.”  We will all go through seasons in our lives when we walk aimlessly about, asking the Lord, “Am I going in the right direction?”  We will all spend time,  seemingly without clear direction, waiting for the Lord to say,” It’s long enough.”  But it’s during those hard journeys that lessons will be learned…about God and ourselves.  Sometimes we need discipline, or humility…sometimes it’s to get our attention or force us to look at our rebellious  nature.  When you wander around the same hill, the scenery stays the same…use the time to instead change yourself.
