Some of the great encouragements to Christians are the awesome resources of God. No matter the extent of our needs, or life threatening our situation, God's abundance provides for us. Whether we marvel about the feast for desert wanderers in ancient Egypt, or take courage from his goodness to us today, we can all benefit from the contemplation of a glorious Lord.
