IS THE LORD AMONG US OR NOT?

The problem with God's people here is their lack of total reliance on God. Even though they are out of Egypt and away from Pharaoh, Egypt is still in them. It is hard for God's people to progress when they see themselves as victims, even when they have been set free.
The Lord is using the wilderness of our lives to form our character. The Lord is teaching us to depend on Him for our daily bread. We need to depend on him for everything because He is our all-sufficient provider!
