In the movie the Ten Commandments we see a depiction of the miraculous deliverance if Israel from Egyptian slavery. In the movie, we see the plagues of Egypt depicted climaxing in the death of all of the Egyptian first born. We also see the army of Pharaoh drowned in the Red Sea.
Not mentioned in the movie, however, is how God provided food and clothing for the Jews during their 40-year journey through the wilderness. In Deuteronomy 8:3 God reminds them that he fed them with Manna during their journey. This Manna was something no one had ever seen before or since. Deuteronomy 29:5 also tells us that even their clothes and shoes did not wear out while walking in the desert for 40 years.
These are examples of how God will provide for his people when they have need.
Our present economic recession has left many with severe financial needs. However, many are turning to the government to provide these needs. I want to challenge those of you reading this that have needs to turn to God instead of the government to meet their needs. The same God who took care of his people in the wilderness for 40 years is available to you today so ask Him for His help. He is listening and waiting to hear from you and provide for your needs.
