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 a lot of food.
According Quartermaster General in the Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have had 1500 tons of food each day. Do you know that to bring that much food each day, 2 freight trains each idles a mile long, would be required!Besides you must remember, they were out in the desert, so they would have to have firewood to use in the cooking the food.This would take 4000 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 and oh yes, they would have to have water. If they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes, it would take 11000000 gallons each day and a freight train with tank cars, 1800 miles long just to bring water!And then another thing, they had to get across the Red Sea at night. Now if they went on a narrow path, double file,the line would be 800 miles long and would required 35 days and nights to get through. So there had to be a space in the Red Sea, 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5000 abreast to get over in one night. But then there is 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 of it!This much space for camping. Do you think Moses figured all this 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?
