So they moved out for the first time according to the commandment of the Lord through Moses.It is the beginning of the true journey for the Isrealites. They have received their instructions, they (literally) know their marching orders. Now it's time to set out and do what the Lord has commanded them to do.
It seems appropriate to read this verse on New Year's. Given this is the time when people make resolutions on how they're going to change their lives, it is often seen as the beginning of a journey. That leads me to ask, what will I do? I've made a few resolutions/goals myself. I can't say with any confidence that I'm going to be able to keep some of them, but I need to at least give my best effort. I sometimes think my best effort isn't all that impressive, or that I give it often. However, I've been told to try, and that's what I'm going to do. I only hope that I am able to keep God centered in my life, and that He will help me to achieve what I can't do alone.
