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 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 just 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 then another thing! They had to get across the Red
Sea at night. (They did?) 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
get over in one night. But then, 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 it! This space just for nightly
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?
