Day 15: Exodus 13-17

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Reading Through the Bible Together. Today we’re reading Exodus 13–17.God has brought His people out by blood and power, but now He will teach them how to live as the redeemed. These chapters move from the night of deliverance into the early days of the journey, where the Lord shows that He is not only the God who saves, but the God who sustains.In Exodus 13, God claims His people and sets up remembrance. He leads them by a pillar of cloud and fire, guiding them step by step. In Exodus 14, the Red Sea becomes the great dividing line: Israel passes through, Pharaoh’s army falls, and the Lord proves He can make a way where there is no way. In Exodus 15, they sing, then almost immediately face bitter water, and God provides. In Exodus 16, hunger hits, and the Lord sends manna, training them to depend on His daily provision. In Exodus 17, thirst returns and God brings water from the rock, then Israel faces warfare with Amalek and learns that victory comes from the Lord, not their strength.These chapters are honest about the wilderness: God is faithful, and His people are fragile. They grumble, forget, and fear, but the Lord keeps supplying what they need and staying with them in mercy.Support the show
