Text for the Day -- Exodus 15:22-27
----------
Then Moses ordered Israel to set out from the Red Sea, and they went
into the wilderness of Shur. They went three days in the wilderness
and found no water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink the
water of Marah because it was bitter. That is why it was called
Marah. And the people complained against Moses, saying, "What shall
we drink?" He cried out to the LORD; and the LORD showed him a piece
of wood; he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.
There the LORD made for them a statute and an ordinance and there he
put them to the test. He said, "If you will listen carefully to the
voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in his sight, and
give heed to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will not
bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians;
for I am the LORD who heals you."
Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and
seventy palm trees; and they camped there by the water.
Devotional
----------
Israel's journey has always been up and down. After being freed from
Egypt and crossing the Red sea into the wilderness, they find that
they have no good water to drink. Moses prays. God responds to their
needs. God makes a covenant with them at that time. Trust me and I
will be your Healer. Then God led them to an oasis. It is a great
challenge to walk faithfully, trusting in God's care and provision,
when circumstances are up and down.
Prayer
-----------
Strengthen my walk that it may be faithful, Lord. Amen
