Topic: GOD IS MORE THAN ABLE
Text: Exodus 15:22-27
15:22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
15:23 Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.
15:24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
15:25 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. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them,
15:26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”
15:27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters.
STUDY:
After celebrating their miraculous deliverance at the Red Sea, the Israelites journeyed into the Wilderness of Shur, where they travelled for three days without finding water(Exod.15:22). When they finally came to Marah, the people grumbled against Moses, complaining about the lack of drinkable water (Exod. 15:24). This reaction reveals the Israelites’ fading trust in God’s provision. Moses cried out to God, who showed him a tree to throw into the water to make it sweet and drinkable (Exod. 15:25). The passage
concludes with theIsraelites arriving at Elim, where they found 12 springs of water and 70 palm trees, providing a refreshing oasis in the desert (Exod.15:27).
Life often leads us through “wilderness”seasons – times of dryness, need, or hardship. But just as God transformed the bitter water, He can turn our difficulties into blessings when we trust Him. Complaining blinds us to His power, while faith opens our eyes to His provision. Are you facing a season of struggle or disappointment? Instead of focusing on the bitterness, bring your needs to God, and trust that He can turn hardship into strength and provision. Let your trials be moments to grow in faith, knowing God’s presence is with you and that He will lead you to places of rest and refreshment.
Prayer:
Lord, forgive my past lack of trust and help me to pray in times of need as I continually rely on your provision in Jesus’Name. Amen.
