Succoth:

Succoth:  Lessons, They were not ready for war.  When not ready you lose heart and change your mind.  There is a time for war but you need to be ready.  This was the place where they fulfilled their vow to carry Joseph out of Egypt.  One of the ways to get ready for war to fulfill your promises to the Lord, and others.  You cannot take the land until you are ready.  Exodus 13:17-28

Etham:  It was here that the Israelites received the guidance of the Lord.  Pillar of fire by night and pillar of cloud by day.  Before you can go into the land and conqueror you need the presence, power and guidance of the Lord.  You move when he moves.  Exodus 13:20-22

Pi Bairoth:  This is where the final showdown between Pharaoh and Moses.  God open the Red Sea for the Israel to pass through and the Egyptian army drowned when the waters receded.    When faced with the enemy trust in the Lord to fight your battle.  From Moses we learn that are to use the resources God gives us.    The Lord will put the enemies of the people of God into confusion and supernaturally defeat them.  If you need a miracle you will get one.  Like Miriam celebrate the victory and give the Lord the glory.  Exodus 14-15

Marah:  The Israelites were without water for 3 days.  They came to Marah and found the waters bitter so they complained.  Moses healed the waters with a piece of wood.  It was here a declaration was made that none of the diseases of the land would hurt the people.  When we find ourselves in the desert place and in that place of bitterness.  God will heal us and give us living water.  If we keep his ways and laws we will not face any of diseases of the land.  Exodus 15:22-26

Elim:  After Marah they camps at Elim a place of water and lush vegetation.  After a time of bitterness, harshness and affliction God will give a place of rest, recovery and sustenance.   Exodus 15:27

Desert of Sin:  The people complained to Moses about their food situation.  The Lord provided manna and quail.  They got greedy and tried to extend the life of the manna to see it spoil.  Even when our heart is not right, God will supply.  He is Jehovah Jireh.  God promises to supply for each day.  Hoarding His provision will lead to spoiled blessings.  Exodus 16

Rephidim:  God supplied water from the rock.  The Amalekites were defeated by Joshua and Moses.  This was done through Moses keeping his hands raised to heaven.  Jethro help Moses organize a judicial and leadership system.  Exodus 17-18    Do not quarrel with God.  When you back is up against the wall once again we see God`s provision.    You will be attacked by the enemies of God but God will give you victory as you and other with you work together with the Lord.  Raise your hands in victory and when you are tired God will send others to help.   Record what the Lord has done, make a place of remembrance and remember the Lord is our banner.  Always include other in the work of the Lord.  Here is also we learn qualifications for Godly leadership, people who fear God, trustworthy, honest and have servant hearts.  Then the responsibility of leaders is to mentor and teach them.
