36 In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; 37 but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. 38 So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.
Seems so easy for them. God was literally with them and instructing them on when to stay and when to go. First the instructions on the build are really detailed. Then the instructions about how and when to set it up are very specific. There isn't much wiggle room in what God is asking them to do.
I wish I had signs like that. It seems much more convoluted now. Does God want me to do this? I'm not sure. Maybe I should jump in, and if it's his will he'll be there to make sure it succeeds......maybe I should look for the cloud or the fire.

it would be much simpler. Alternatively he gives us lots of choice today. I think, not sure it right, but I think God will use anything we do to further his kingdom if we are truly trying to follow his direction. Maybe not right but I like to think its the intent of my heart not the specific decision of my brain that he is worried about. ??
