Psalm 95:3... For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods.
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 1,500 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, and they would have to have firewood to use in cooking the food. This would take 4,000 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. Oh, yes, they would have to have water. If they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes, it would take 11 million gallons each day and a freight train with tank cars 1,800 miles long just to bring water!
And then another thing, they had to get across the Red Sea in one night. 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 three miles wide so that they could walk 5,000 abreast to get over in one night.
But then 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 if it! This space just for nightly camping.
Do you think Moses figured all those 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?

1 Peter 5:6-7... Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Thank You Lord that You are there, waiting for us to come to You. Help each of us humble ourselves, under Your mighty hand and cast all our anxiety on You. Thank You that as we do this, we will be lifted up in due time. Thank You that You are sovereign, a great God, the great King above all gods.
Psalm 95:3-5... For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him. The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.
