God, with great power, liberated Israel, and us from bondage in the hands of Egypt. Then came the wilderness. This wilderness experience had Israel confused. At times, the bondage they had been freed from, as has been our age, seem attractive. They desired Egyptian meats, spice, and even gods, and sinned greatly with murmuring and rebellion.
Our age is likewise free, and we need to endure the wilderness for just a little while. In the wilderness is where the law was established, the priesthood set aside, and the house of God established. It is a place of purging, of separation of the believers, from the doubters. At the same time, God rains down manna, the grace that is just enough, to test us if we will be appreciate, or desire the meats of Egypt.
Do not let the thirst for water in the wilderness or the bites from the serpent distract you as even then, Christ was lifted up and He healed them.
