God promised to not only send an angel to lead the Israelites but that He himself would lead them, bless them, and give them victory.
The Israelites had to face and go through the battles. God did not just wipe the way clear. There were battles to be fought. Exodus 23:30 - "I will force those people out slowly." It was not a quick battle and victory. It was long and slow.
"The storm" we are caught in has been going on for years. Yet, God has fulfilled every one of His promises. He has led us and He has protected us. We will continue to wait and trust God for His leading, blessing, and victory.
The Israelites promised God several times that they would listen and obey. Yet scripture tells us otherwise. Many of the choices they made went directly against God's will for their lives, and they suffered the consequences for it.
We choose to believe. We choose to listen. We choose to obey.
