Amen. Now let us take our confession from Josh chapter one,
-
verse eight. This book of the Law shall not depart
-
out of my mouth, but I shall meditate in it

day and night, that I may observe to do according

to all that is written in it. Well, then I'll

make my way prosperous, and then I'll have good success. Amen.

Then Moses led the people of Israel away from the
-
Red Sea into the desert of share for three days
-
they walked through the desert but found no water. Then
-
they came to a place called Mara, but the water
-
there was so bitter that they could not drink it.
-
That is why it was named Marah. The people who
-
complained to Moses and asked, what are we going to drink?
-
Moses prayed earnestly to the Lord, and the Lord showed
-
him a piece of wood, which he threw into the water,
-
and the water became fit to drink. There the Lord
-
gave them laws to live by, and there he also
-
tested them.
-
Amen.
-
Amen.

-
of the greatest privileges I've had in life is opportunity
-
to work in health care. My WREK brings me on
-
a daily basis in contact with people from all walks
-
of life. The array of experiences over the years, I've
-
learned that I am best placed to help my clients
-
and patience and unable to see beyond the ailments into
-
their individual stories. I found that behind every presentation is
-
a deeply personal story, and one truth stands out clearly.
-
No life is completely immune to sudden harship or misfortune,
-
and so often a bright and happy season is overshadowed
-
by an unexpected ten of events. Think of the couple
-
who finally married after years of waiting, only to face
-
the quiet pain of infertility. All the expectant mother filled
-
with joy suddenly told her pregnancy is high risk, or
-
the parents holding their newborn only to receive an unexpected diagnosis.
-
In moments like these, the sweetness of a long awaited
-
blessing feels suddenly tainted by harsh reality. This human experience
-
is as old as the scriptures. In Exodus, the people
-
of Israel had just witnessed one of the greatest miracles
-
in history, the pattern of the Red Sea. They were singing, dancing,
-
and celebrating their freedom. Yet just three days later, as
-
they journeyed through the harsh desert of Shoe, they found
-
no water. When they finally spotted a body of water
-
at Marah, their relief was overwhelming until they tasted it.
-
The water was foul, better and undrinkable. In a matter
-
of days, their joy turned to frustration, and their songs
-
tend to better complains. Friends, it is easy to understand
-
their distress. But notice how Moses reacted differently. While the
-
crowd murmured against leadership, Moses took his pain directly to God.
-
He did not pretend the water was fine, nor did
-
he allow anger to consume him. He prayed earnestly to
-
the Lord beloved when he faced a better tone of
-
fortune in your own life, say a new job that
-
has become overwhelming, a relationship that has grown cold, or
-
a sudden change in your health. The first response matters.
-
Complaining only depends the betterness that Ennes's prayer opens the
-
door for God to act. God heard Moses's cry and
-
showed him a piece of wood, and Moses threw it
-
into the water. The bitter stream was made completely whole.
-
Brothers and sisters, is anyone amongst us standing beside better
-
waters today? Let him bring his plight before the Father.
-
Do not carry the disappointment alone, or let resent men
-
take roots in your heart. Lay the situation open before
-
him in simple and prayer, trusting that he still has
-
the power to turn your hardest seasons into places of restoration. Amen. Amen,
-
Now let us take our memory. Verse from Exodus chapter fifteen,
-
verse twenty five.
-
A Moses prayed earnestly to the Lord, and the Lord
-
showed him a piece of wood, which he threw into
-
the water, and the water became fit to drink. Amen.
-
Amen, spray Heavenly Father, you see the better places in
-
our lives today. You know the exact moment where our
-
joy was interrupted by pain, worry, or disappointment. Lord, forgive
-
us for the times you have complained instead of turning
-
to you today, bring these heavy situations before you're thrown
-
off grace. Pour your healing power into our hearts, and
-
make our better waters sweet again in Jesus' name. Amen.
-
Amen beloved, thank you for being a part of today's
-
