The Exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land was originally supposed to take around 11 days based on the direct journey from Egypt to Canaan, but the journey took 40 years due to the Israelites' disobedience and wandering in the wilderness.
We may be the modern day “Moses” (of sorts), but how long we spend in the desert and whether or not we make it into the “Promised Land” is entirely up to us.
