+ 27.225 MHz: At Elim [After Exodus 15:27, And Matthew 20:1-16]
We entered Elim in an orderly
fashion according to Moses' direction.
Some walked into it first, and some were last;
and all had plenty, from the palms and wells,
for their refreshment as if at a feast;
none were forbidden, none given ejection.
No selfish words were shouted, and none cast
against Moses and Aaron by whom we
had been led there, as to a pleasant rest.
And none of us were treated as the least
important or beholding to some other.
We felt, at Elim, that we had been blessed;
and that we need to do our very best
to curtail, if not wholly, fully, smother
the urges of our carnal selfishness---
which are the cause of all human duress.
In places like Elim, no flesh compels
outright, or even brings, subtle coercion
upon the spirit. Elim brings conversion---
under the Lord's pillars of cloud and fire---
to right worship, affection, and desire:
to no less we, as Israel, aspire.
