Bitter Waters Made Sweet

In Exodus 15:22-27 Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea to the wilderness of Shur. They came to Marah and the waters were bitter. The people complained and the Lord showed Moses a tree. When he cast that tree into the bitter waters, they became sweet, and the Lord promised to heal them.  They then moved on to Elim.  My favorite part of the scripture is, “So they camped there by the water”. I love camping out at the water of His Word. God is faithful to keep me moving on. I thank the Lord my God that through the bitter waters of my life I have learned to camp out at the foot of the Tree the Lord has shown me called the Cross. It has always heeled me and makes my bitter waters sweet.
