A Sprinkling With Hyssop

A Place Of No Water

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2016

We may well find, like Moses, that the answer is already to hand.

A PLACE OF NO WATER. Exodus 17:1-7. Moses must have been pretty near the end of his tether (Exodus 17:4). After all, the LORD had already heard the cries of His people in their bondage (Exodus 3:7), and sent Moses to them: but it had been all Moses could do to convince them to accept ...read more
