God's Lavish Provision

Commentators emphasize that God didn't just provide a trickle of water, but "streams" and "rivers." This wasn't a one-time event but an overflowing, continuous flow that followed the Israelites. It serves as a powerful picture of God's superabundant and ongoing care for His people, even in the most barren places.
