When Israel left Egypt, I suspect that at least some of the people asked Moses, “What are we going to eat? Where are we going to find water?” The wilderness is a big, empty place.
In other words, God does with Israel what he did to their father, Abraham. Go to the land that I will show you.
Just do it. No, I’m not going to tell you where – or when. Just go. Trust me.
Seriously? Who among you would have left Egypt to follow a God like that?
Let’s go march out into a dry, parched wilderness – in April – as summer is beginning, and let’s take our wives, our children, our flocks.
All of you would be asking: “What are we going to eat? Where are we going to find water?”
You don’t need to know. You need to trust me.
What is God doing here? God is teaching his people. He is teaching you to learn how to listen to his voice – to trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Because if you rely on yourself and your own understanding, you will not follow that lunatic, Moses, out into the desert!
