Following

Leaving Egypt, God’s people learn His way.

They camp. And set out. At His command. In designated, orderly formation. (Numbers 9:18,23)

Following the Lord.

A place called Marah. “Bitter.”

Men, women, and children trudge through wilderness. After Egypt. After walking between walls of sea. After escaping the enemy.

But now. On the other side. There’s no water anywhere.

Until they reach Marah.

And they find it so. The water, that is.

Bitter.

“Come and see,” the psalmist says in Psalm 66. I hear the invitation. To see the works of God. Remember His awesome acts.

And in one brief sentence, the writer speaks volumes.

“He turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through the river on foot.”
Psalm 66:6

Succinctly said. But the people know. These are two indelible markers on their journey with God.

The sea and the river. Deliverance and entering the promised land.
