This is almost overwhelming when you think
about it.
Moses and the people were in the desert, but what was he going to
do with them? They had to be fed, and feeding 2 or 3 million
people requires a lot of food. According to the Quartermaster
General in the Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have had
1500 tons of food each day. Do you know that to bring that much food
each day, two freight trains, each at least a mile long, would be
required!
Besides, you must remember, they were out in
the desert, so they would have to have firewood to use in cooking the
food. This would take 4000 tons of wood and a few more freight trains,
each a mile long, just for one day.
And just think, they were forty years in
transit.
Oh yes! They would have to have water.
If they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes, it would take
11,000,000 gallons each day and a freight train with tank cars, 1800
miles long, just to bring water!
And then another thing! They had to get
across the Red Sea at night. Now, if they went on a narrow
path, double file, the line would be 800 miles long and would require 35
days and nights to get through. So there had to be a space in the Red
Sea, 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5000 abreast to get over in
one night.
But then, there is another problem: each time they camped at the end of
the day, a campground two-thirds the size of the state of Rhode Island
was required, or a total of 750 square miles long........think of it!
This much space for camping.
Do you think Moses figured all this out before
he left Egypt? I think not!
You see, Moses believed in God. God took care of these things for him.
Now do you think God has any problem taking care of all your needs?
I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed
for you today.
To guide you and protect you as you go along your way..........
His love is always with you, His promises are true,
And when we give Him all our cares, you know He'll see us through.
Our God is an Awesome God!!
So when the road you're traveling on seems
difficult at best,
Just remember I'm praying and God will do the rest.
