Twice

I am just reading Exodus 14 when I realize that God normally uses people who have been through 'that one specific path', to lead others in finding their way out from a similar occasion. Moses had to go through the desert all alone when he was expelled from Egypt. I believe, he struggled in despair all the way in the desert. However for the Israelites Moses then became a credible leader - just because He knew the way to the destinantion.
