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?
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.
