Bitterness Into Sweetness

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 15:25.

                            After crossing the Red sea, the Israelites went three days in the wilderness without water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah as it was bitter. The Israelites grumbled and complained against Moses. Moses cried out to God for help and God showed him a tree. He cast it into the waters and the waters were made sweet.

                              When all the people complained to Moses, he did not talk anything back to people. Instead he cried out to God for the direction. God gave guidance to him by showing a tree. When we call upon the Lord in the day of trouble, He will deliver us and we shall glorify Him. He will guide us and lead us in the way we should go.

                          We may encounter some dry and bitter experiences in our life which we never expect. But instead of grumbling about it, let us call upon God and He will show us a way and deliver us. He will turn all our bitter experiences into sweetness. Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know – Jeremiah 33:3.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Lord who can turn all our bitter experiences into sweetness. Help us to call upon You and keep trusting in You in midst of it. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
