Then it came to pass, when Pharoah had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, "Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt." So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. (Exodus 13:17-18a)
Sometimes God knows that the quickest way through a difficulty would cause us to ultimately leave Him. It is therefore out of His love, and His consideration for how much we can take, that He leads us the longer way.
