Bible in 90, Day 5: ... and other towns in Rhode Island

Did anybody else notice the change in pace today?  In four days we covered several hundred years of storyline, but today when we read 15 chapters we only covered about 40 years, and most of it took place over a few weeks!  And now we're beginning to deal with the nation of Israel.  We also saw two big themes in our passage today.

Miracles, and providence.

Providence is God's normal working in the universe, but particularly is used to describe those peculiar instances in life.  Some call it coincidence or fate.  The Bible calls it the hand of God.  Moses' very existence is an example of providence.
