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 required a lot of food. According to the Quartermaster General in the Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have had 1,500 tons of food each day. Did you know that to bring that much food each day, two freight trains, each a mile long, would be required? Besides you must remember, they were out in the desert, so they would havehad to have fire wood to use in cooking the food. This would take 4,000 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, and don't forget that they would have to have had 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, 1,800 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 5,000 abreast to get over in one night. But then, there was 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 space just for camping. Do you think Moses figured all this out before he left Egypt? I wouldn't think so. 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. So when the road you travel on, Seems difficult at best. Just remember that I'm praying, And God will do the rest. |
