The last verse of Genesis ends with Joseph in a coffin in Egypt. He isn't buried or hidden away, his body is serving as a witness that God has a plan to take the people out of Egypt. We know that God will eventually take the people out of bondage. I wonder if the people had been listening and willing that they could have avoided the slavery of Eygpt. If they had been seeking God fully and had seen the body of Joseph as a sign that they were not meant to stay in Eygpt forever life might have gone easier for them. This of course is a question we will never know. However, it causes me to think that if I'm doing a better job following God's plan and living in the promised land was God's plan for Israel, then maybe it could save us from some pain.
So are their signs telling you that you're not supposed to stay where you are? Or perhaps it's not moving locations but something else? Pray and see.
