Elim (Exodus 15:27)

2022-09-02

And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters. (Exodus 15:27)

This little verse is sandwiched between two murmurings of Israel. Elim was an oasis in the middle of vast stretches of nothing.

Elim shows us God’s grace amid our rebellion. Elim shows us a rest amid an arduous journey. Elim shows us sustenance in an unlivable desert. Elim pictures how God shows mercy to His people.
