God speaks through this reading to me. First, the time. 2/15 is the projected time that my company would make the announcement for lay off.
Then the place. It's the desert. It'll be a place lack of the most needed things--water, food.
Third, it's the promist. God knows and cares about the needs of his people. And He did not let them go hungry for even one meal.
Fourth, the disipline. There are certain rules the Isreslites must follow.
Fifth, the faith. Desert is no doubt a place to test our faith for God. Do we complain? Do we look back full of regrets? Or do we look up to heaven and walk day by day with not much more than our simple faith?
Sixth, duration. 40 years and a whole generation would be fallen during this journey.
Seventh, the destination. God's promiseland for a whole new generation to conquer.
