Throughout my study of the Bible, in preparation for this journey, I noticed that God's people suffered multiple episodes of heartache, despair, bondage, loss, pain, rough terrain travel and many other impediments to deter them from reaching the predestined goals set by God for them. God's people were not spared life lessons because of who they were.
God wanted the lessons learned along the way to provide valuable insight into the expectations which He had determined for their good.
God desired peace and harmony for His creation because both would allow them to work together in love. He had already demonstrated how His Love had protected them, provided for them, and sustained them in all unforeseen circumstances, and surely His people would recognize God's Amazing Love, and therefore follow His directives, and live a life of abundance.
A defining factor for me was that when we learn to love our God with all might, heart and soul, then, we understand that love is the prerequisite to all good things. When we love one another as God commanded, we can accept that there can never be genuine peace without genuine love.
