One thing that we must be careful of in our walk with God is a déjà vu experience. Moses encountered one in his wilderness journey with the Israelites and the way he handled it cost him entrance into the promise land. Then all the congregation of the children of Israel set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin , according to the commandment of the LORD, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.
