The glory of God shined on His people

Our dear God in heaven told us many years ago, as Moses led the Israelites from the Red Sea across the desert, that He is the Lord who heals. Praise God hallelujah. We are forever grateful to our Maker and He is so faithful.

In that story in Exodus 15, we see the people had no water to drink for three days and in the desert that can be a fatal situation. When they did come upon a body of water, it was too bitter to drink.

Dying of thirst or at least thinking were, the people of Israel turned against Moses and demanded he do something. “So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink.” Exodus 15:25 (NLT).

Have you ever been backed into a corner and think there is no possible way out? We have to follow the lead of Moses and go to our Father and pour our heart out to Him. He is our strength and our help.


Nobody likes the feeling of being in the wilderness camped next to water that is too bitter to drink. But I have come to realize that we can’t enjoy the cool of the morning if we don’t know the heat of the night.

When you are venturing through the darkness of night, call upon the Lord for guidance and follow His way. Feel His embrace and follow Him forward.

“Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away.” Psalm 90:10 (NLT).
