My teen & I were just discussing an oddity of the english language. She said "Why are we like this?!" I replied "Colonism". She corrected me with "Colonialism" then proceeded to sing "I can feel it comin' in the air tonight" and repeated "Colonism" it took me a hillariously long time to realize she had made a pun: Phil Collinism. Maybe you had to be here, but it was a good laugh!
The pillar of fire and cloud in the wilderness never left the people. It was always there to guide them. Remember #yeshua's words in Matthew 28:20: "Behold I am with you always." No matter who appears to be leading, God is. Day or night, God is always with His people even when they aren't with Him.

Jonah 4
1
But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry.
2
He prayed to the LORD, "O LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home? That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.
3
Now, O LORD, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live."
4
But the LORD replied, "Have you any right to be angry?"
5
Jonah went out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city.
6
Then the LORD God provided a vine and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the vine.
7
But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the vine so that it withered.
8
When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, "It would be better for me to die than to live."
9
But God said to Jonah, "Do you have a right to be angry about the vine?" "I do," he said. "I am angry enough to die."
10
But the LORD said, "You have been concerned about this vine, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight.
11
But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?"

But God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle.
Exodus 13:18
Where did the Hebrews get weapons when they left Egypt? Surely Pharaoh didn't allow slaves to be armed. One tradition says "armed" in this verse should be translated "fifth" and only 1/5 of Israel survived the plagues. It could also be a metaphor of being prepared for spiritual warfare.
I favor the literal interpretation. They were farmers, fishermen, and masons, so they had tools that could double as weapons. It's also possible that they had been secretly collecting weapons in Egypt in preparation for an armed uprising some day.

God didn't send Israel directly into Canaan. He knew they weren't ready. God knows what you are capable of handling too. Trust in Him and He won't steer you wrong.
The only unacceptable paths in life are standing still and moving backwards. Trust God's instructions. Keep moving forward. Once your task is before you, to hesitate is to doubt God. He knows you better than you do, so when he says "move", be confident that you are able to move.
Exodus 13:17-18
