The Israelites were travelling towards the Promised Land. As they travelled, they were to celebrate the Passover (9:1-14). In their journey, they were being led by the Lord (15-23). In the course of their journey, they faced opposition from their enemies.

In their conflict with the enemies of the Lord, they looked to the Lord for victory. They trusted the Lord’s promise: “the Lord your God will remember you and rescue you from your enemies” (10:9). They prayed to the Lord: “Arise, O Lord! Scatter your enemies! Make those who hate you run away from you!” (10:35).

Our journey takes us from the past through the present and into the future. We give thanks to God for |His blessing in the past. We look to the Lord for victory in the present. We look to the Lord to lead us as we travel towards the future.

In every part of our journey, we are travelling with God.
