  1. Exodus 15:22-17:7Is the LORD Among Us? Mark Hagen Liveoak Bible Church December 6, 2009

  2. Exodus 15:22-17:7 “Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world? It is not he who prays the most or fasts the most. It is not he who lives the most. But it is he who is always thankful to God, who receives everything as an instance of God’s goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for it.” - William Law

  3. Exodus 15:22-17:7 “He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” - Deuteronomy 8:3

  4. Exodus 15:22-17:7 “What are the evidences of God’s presence and power we look for in the life of a person whom we believe to be godly? I would suggest that we, like the Jewish religious leaders of old, tend to look primarily at external appearances—success, popularity, a life free from struggles, suffering and sorrow. …

  5. Exodus 15:22-17:7 “What are the evidences of God’s presence and power which we look for in a church? Most often, we look at the size of the church, its staff, and its budget. If there is a mood of excitement and we go away feeling turned on and having our needs met, we think that God is present in that church. …

  6. Exodus 15:22-17:7 “This is why we find it very difficult to believe that God is present when things are not going well. We find it hard to believe that God would lead His people or His church into times and circumstances of difficulty. But when we think this way, we are no different from the Israelites. …

  7. Exodus 15:22-17:7 “Here is where the two major themes of our text converge, giving us a principle by which we can face the adversities of life with faith, rather than with fear, and by which we can trust God, rather than test Him: GOD OFTEN REVEALS HIS PRESENCE THROUGH CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH HE APPEARS TO BE ABSENT. - Bob Deffinbaugh, “The Grumbling of Menand the Grace of God (Exodus 17:1-7),” bible.org

  8. Exodus 15:22-17:7 “For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.” - Philippians 2:13

  9. Exodus 15:22-17:7 “The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.“ - Zephaniah 3:17
