I have been reading through the pentateuch in my morning quiet times. It has struck me once again how the journeys of the children of Israel and all they go through in coming out of Egypt and reaching the promised land are so closely related to our Christian walk and there are so many lessons that can be learnt from their journeys.
In particular it is striking how many times the Lord provides for them in incredible ways - the ten plagues, the provision of manna, the provision of water and quail, conquering various kings and lands. Yet, even after seeing all of this, they do not trust the Lord enough to take them into the promised land when they see the 'giants' living there. What a picture of us! We so often doubt that the Lord will provide even though He has provided so many times before. With our God nothing is impossible, and if only we had greater faith we would see greater blessings.
