Moses led Israel from the Red Sea to the wilderness of Shur. After staying in the desert for three days, they found no water. When you get to Mara, you can't drink the water there; Because the water is bitter, that place is called Mara. And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? ? (exodus 15:22-24, NIV)
And all the congregation of Israel set out from Elim, and came to the desert of Sin between Elim and Sinai on the 15th day of the second month after they left Egypt. All the congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness, saying, "If only we had died in the land of Egypt and by the hand of the LORD! At that time, we were sitting next to the meat pot, and we were full. You brought us into this wilderness and starved all the congregation! "(Exodus 16: 1-3 and KJV)
At the command of the LORD, all the congregation of Israel set out from the wilderness of Sin and camped in Rephidim. The people had no water to drink, so they quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water to drink!" Moses said to them, "why do you argue with me?" Why are you testing God? Where the people were thirsty for water, they complained to Moses, saying, Why did you bring us out of Egypt to make us, our children and our livestock die of thirst? " ? (Exodus 17: 1-3 and KJV)
Summary: God led the Israelites out of Egypt, making them free from slavery, and gave them Canaan, a land of milk and honey, as their master. In Egypt, God showed his great power and made ten disasters in Egypt. Just after crossing the Red Sea, God split the Red Sea for Israel and let them escape from the pursuit of the Egyptians. The Egyptians were trapped in the sea by God and died in the Red Sea at most. They witnessed the miracle of God with their own eyes, but when they met with difficulties, they forgot God's grace, tested God, and began to blame God! However, isn't it better than yourself? I saw it with my own eyes and knew that I spent every day in the miracle of God. However, when difficulties and hardships happen, I will still be afraid and take care of my body, instead of just looking up to God and fearing God. When I began to fear and worry, I began to doubt God, which is a distrust of God. Therefore, when I saw the Israelites leave the wilderness, I could see the corruption in their hearts. But now God has given us his only beloved son, Jesus, so that we can repent of Jesus, change ourselves and practice those corrupt virtues into pure gold.
Israelis have little faith, but God cares about them.
Moses cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. He threw the tree into the water and the water became sweet. There the Lord set up statutes and judgments for them, and there he tested them. And he said, "If you pay attention to the word of the LORD your God, do what is right in my eyes, pay attention to my commandments, and keep all my statutes, I will not put the diseases I put on the Egyptians on you, for I, the LORD, will heal you. (exodus 15:25-26, NIV)
The Lord said to Moses, "I will send food down from heaven to you. People can go out and collect their share every day, so that I can test whether they abide by my laws or not. ? (exodus 16:4, NIV)
The LORD said to Moses, "Go ahead of the people with some elders of Israel, with your staff that struck the river in your hand. I will stand before you at the rock of Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will flow out of the rock, so that the people can drink. Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. ? (exodus 17:5-6, NIV)
Conclusion: Even though we are so bad, God still loves us and never gives up on us. His love is more than anything. His love has no purpose, no deception, no exchange. His only hope is that we don't want to worship him and do all righteous things before him. I want to thank my God, who always opens the way for me when I have no hope of letting go, comforts me when I am in pain, always supports me, accompanies me, guides me in the right way during the day and protects me until dawn at night. Dear God! I sincerely thank and praise you, and I am willing to follow the Lord forever in my life. Pray in the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
? Amen!
