“God Will Provide”

  • Exodus 15:23-27

As Moses was leading the Isrealites, they came upon a body of water called Marah. They were all thirsty but the water was bitter and not drinkable. God told moses to throw a tree into the water. Once this was done the water was sweetened and was drinkable.

When we listen to what God tells us to do, and strive to be Christlike, God will provide what we need and deal with any obstacles in our way.

A picture of the cross can be seen in this story as well. The water was useless until God provided the tree to throw into the water bringing it to life. We were headed to eternal seperation from God until God sent his only son to die on the cross providing us a path to eternal life with God.
