#89 - How Not to Act This Week for Thanksgiving (Ex. 15:22-17:7)


Listen Later

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
