Numbers 10:25 Then the standard of the camp of the people of Dan, acting as the rear guard of all the camps, set out by their companies, and over their company was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran. 27 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 28 This was the order of march of the people of Israel by their companies, when they set out.
The people of Israel had put everything in place for worship at the tabernacle, celebrated their second Passover in remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt, and now they were ready to head on toward the promised land. Once again, everything was done in a need and organized fashion. This first step forward was a three-day journey, with the ark leading the way and the cloud of the Lord overshadowing them. It was the beginning of a whole new experience. Sometimes life seems like this: major crisis, preparations that seem to take forever and are full of details, and a short first step. But finally, they are moving in the direction God has pointed. Take each step under God's hand. It's a long way to the promised land, but it's worth the journey.
