Meditate
On
…when
they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were
bitter…And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it
into the waters, the waters were made sweet
Exodus
15:23–25
Always Bring In The Cross
I
love the story of how God turned bitter, poisonous waters into sweet,
refreshing waters for His people when they came to a place called Marah
(meaning “bitterness” in Hebrew).
When
the Israelites could not drink the water, Moses cried out to the Lord. The Lord
showed him a tree, which Moses cast into the waters. When he did that, the
Bible says that “the waters were made sweet”.
I
love how God’s solution then is still God’s solution now: Throw in the tree—a
picture of Jesus at the cross—to turn the bitter waters sweet.
Today,
if you are facing a ”bitter waters” situation in your body or life, I want to
encourage you to bring in Jesus and see what He did for you at the cross.
Relief and healing don’t come from dwelling on your pain. Bring in the
tree—meditate on how the cross of Jesus has saved and redeemed you—and let the
Lord turn your bitter waters sweet!
