Exodus 14-18; Psalm 90

Exodus 14 - Pharaoh changes his mind again and pursued Israel to recapture them.  God thwarts it, parts the Red Sea for Israel to go through, and brings the sea back down on Egypt.

15 - Moses sings a song in response to the Red Sea parting, looking ahead to the dismay of the Philistines.  They come to bitter water, which God helps Moses make sweet, supernaturally.

16 - Israel complains, having no food, and God sends daily manna.  Twice as much on Friday, so they rest on the Sabbath, for 40 years!

17 - God gives water from the rock, when Israel complains of thirst.  Amalek attacks, but God gives Israel victory when Moses' hands are raised.

18 - In a stunning act of common grace, Moses' father-in-law directs him to delegate to others the lesser matters of judgment.

Psalm 90 - God is eternal; man flourishes briefly like a flower.  But God can establish our work.
