Moses
A new way to think
about how the LORD (through Moses) fed everyone...
Read and feel comforted.
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 require 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.
(Manna From Heaven)
And just think, they were forty years in transit.
And 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
?
No!
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 travelling on seems difficult at best, just remember, keep on praying,
and God will do the rest.
