IT'S TIME TO TRUST IN HIM

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 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 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 bet over in one night.
But 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 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?
We ask the Lord to bless you as we pray for you each day. 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 will see us through. Our God is an Awesome God!! So, when the road you are traveling on seems difficult at best, just remember, keep praying and God will do the rest.
Tell others of this story so that you may encourage them during these frightening, worrisome times.
Pray often as Jesus taught us:
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
