God knew me before I was ever thought of by my parents; He loved me and chose me to accept Him. God knew exactly where I was going to go to school, how that I would end up at Miracle Mountain Ranch as a second year in programming. Omnisciently at my infancy, He knew that he would be sending me around the world to share His glory and power. My heavenly Father understands my thoughts before I have even thought them. I could never hide from God; even if I wanted to He knows where I am when I wake up in the morning to the very second that my head hits the pillow at night. When I accepted the Lord as my Savior at the age of six, and when I surrendered my life to full time service that was no surprise to God. God gave me two godly examples for parents …show more content…
Because He knew them, the Scripture records that “they lacked nothing.” In 1-2 typed pages, choose and support with Scripture six of Israel’s needs God provided for in the wilderness. Parallel this testimony of God’s provision for Israel in the wilderness with His provision for you.

(1) In the wilderness the children of Israel were never lacking anything or at least for long. The clothes and shoes that they left Egypt in never wore out, after forty years they were still good without any holes. Deuteronomy 29:5 says “And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.” (2) When the children of Israel were leaving Egypt Pharaoh changed his mind, he didn’t want them to go so he went after them. The Egyptians were in chariots and the children of Israel were on foot, there were also a lot more of them so they were slower and the chariots were catching up to them. But God being omniscient put a pillar of the cloud to separate and protect them from the pursuing Egyptians. The Egyptians were in darkness, but the Israelites had light. Exodus 14:19 “And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind

God used Moses as a tool to bring the water out of the rock. It says in Exodus 17:6 “Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.” Psalm 78:15-16 says “He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.” When they had no water, God caused water to flow from a rock. The Psalms describe it as flowing like a river—sufficient for the needs of the vast multitude as well as their flocks and

    Imagine living in a small, deteriorating and dusty pueblo where not that many options for jobs and income would arise. This would cause great difficulty to living a comfortable life as it was difficult to obtain food, clothes and shelter which are vital necessities for living.

    The ‘Guidance out of Egypt’ and the ‘Revelation of Sinai’ includes the Egyptian slavery, their journey to Sinai, and the laws given at Sinai. These are similar to the first and second part of Exodus according to Gordon Wenham (2003, p. 58). These sections of Exodus includes the Israelites’ escape from slavery and the Mosaic Covenant. The themes, however, do not involve the story of Moses, the Mosaic Covenant, the ten plagues, and the Passover. Noth’s themes imply that the Lord helped the Israelite to escape slavery and destroyed the Egyptians.…

    The life of the Old Testament legion, Job, portrays biblical evidence of the inescapable presence of trials in the life of those who pursue a relationship with God. Job empathically states, “ Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble” (Job 14:1 ESV). “Man born of woman” is a poetic way of saying “everyone.” The term Man translates Hebrew ’aDam and refers to humankind, or everyone. Man’s few days are troublesome.…
