Deuteronomy 1:6

The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.
Deuteronomy 1:6 Modern English Version (MEV)
 
**************
 
The Lord our God spoke unto us in Horeb,.... The same with Sinai, as Aben Ezra observes; while the Israelites lay encamped near this mountain, the Lord spoke unto them:
 
saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: or near it; for hither they came on the first day of the third month from their departure out of Egypt, and they did not remove from thence until the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, Exo_19:1 so that they were here a year wanting ten days; in which space of time the law was given them, the tabernacle and all things appertaining to it were made by them, rulers both ecclesiastical and civil were appointed over them, and they were numbered and marshalled in order under four standards, and so ready to march; and all this being done, they must stay no longer, but set forward for the land of Canaan. It is well for persons that they are not to stay long under the law, and the terrors of it, but are directed to Mount Zion; Heb_12:18.

It’s easy to get comfortable where we are, but God wants us to keep moving forward. Comfort can lead to stagnation and before we know it we don’t even how which way forward is.
