Wilderness Provisions, pt. 1: Healing

Takeaway: Immediately after crossing the Red Sea and experiencing victory over Egypt, God leads Israel in the wrong direction! Rather than taking them up to the promised land, they go down into the wilderness. God has delivered Israel from her external enemies; now he plans to deliver her from the enemies within. This passage reveals God’s plan to make his people grow. How do you grow in the Christian life? Why is life so hard?
