The real exodus e.i exit of the people of God from Egypt happened basically in Exodus chapter 14, which is like the year 2014, where we were faced with the red sea and pharaoh's warriors but God kept us from all evil by his consistent pillar of cloud and fire, guiding and protecting us. God helped us to walk on dry ground even as our enemies got drowned in the red sea of life.
Now we are in Exodus chapter 15, the first verse starts with songs of praise to God, who brought them out with his powerful hands. Brethen, in 2015 start with praise and continue to give thanks to the lord who has brought us this far by his wonderful wonders. Exodus 15:11 'who is like you, O lord, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness. Fearful in praises, DOING WONDERS?'.
Then came bitterness towards the end of chapter 15 at Marah, for they had only bitter water that they could not drink, so they start to complain but when Moses ask God for water He told him to put a tree in the bitter water and it became sweet. In 2015, give no room to compliant as God would give us directions on how to make everything that is bitter to be sweet in
this year, JUST ASK.
Instructively, verse 26 admonished us that ' if we diligently heed the voice of the lord our God and do what is right in his sight, give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, He would put none of the diseases he put on the Egyptians on us, for he is the God who heals us. This healing is conditional and that condition does not end with healing alone but it graduates into abundance according to the next verse.
Finally, the next verse 27 says ' then they got to Elim, where they were twelve wells of water and seven
palm trees; so they camped there by the waters'. When we obey God's leading we will enter the place of more than enough.
