Listen "#89 - How Not to Act This Week for Thanksgiving (Ex. 15:22-17:7)"
Episode Synopsis
In our seventh episode in the book of Exodus, we chat about Ex. 15:22-17:7, a section of the book featuring a recurring theme: the disobedience and complaints of Israel prior to a battle, a meal, and the arrival at Mt. Sinai (chs. 17-19).
Today’s conversation:
Remembering the exodus event
Three days into the wilderness—what happens?
The theme of water in the book, carried into 15:22-25
Forgetfulness of Yahweh’s Lordship
12 springs of water & 70 palm trees—potentially symbolic in addition to being historical
The difference between a test & a temptation
The grumbling of the people & the provision of the manna + quail
How no collection on the 7th day points to the rest for the land & the Year of Jubilee in Lev. 25
How it may be difficult for us today to trust in the Lord for provision & feel dependence on Him daily
How observing the Sabbath helps us grow in an identity rooted not in our performance but rather in the One who rested on the 7th day
Israel begins to test Yahweh—a reversal
1 Cor. 10—Christ as the Rock here in Ex. 17
Grace in Ex. 17
