GOD’S DELIVERANCE IN THE WILDERNESS

 

1. God’s love (6-15)

According to the Feast of Tabernacles, each day began with prayers and Bible

reading, reviewing what God had done since Abraham to call his special people

and lead them to the promised land. They remembered God’s love to rescue them

from slavery in Egypt, to pass through the Red Sea, to receive the law, to be fed

with bread from heaven, and to obtain water from the rock. God’s great love is to

choose us to be a kingdom of priests (Ex 19:4-6) to declare his praises (1 Pe 2:9-10).

 

2. God’s forgiveness (16-21)

They recalled how their ancestors became arrogant and rebelled so quickly,

making a golden calf to worship. Yet God forgave them, did not desert them,

and guarded them with his pillar in the wilderness. We need to remember God’s

forgiveness and protection in spite of our sins to raise us up as holy people for his

glory and purpose.

 

Prayer Lord, you are full of love and forgiveness. Help me to live for your glory

and declare your praises.
