For God to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, it was a 3 days' journey for them to reach the promised land or a land flowing with milk and honey. (Exodus 3:18). As I was reading this and asking myself why it had to take them 40 years to reach there, God reminded me of Hosea 6:1 which says, Come let's return to the lord, he has torn us but he will heal us, after two days, he will revive us and on the third day he will raise us. First of all these people were used to a particular mentality that God had to deal with. Just in case they were ready spiritually, it would happen as God had told them. They would be prompted to return to Egypt in that case. God had to teach them how to depend on him in the good and bad circumstances. The same happens to us and our miracle will partly depend on our willingness and commitment to receieve it.
