Topic: Marah to Elim 🏝️
Bible Verse : Exodus 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"
Message : When Israelites were led out by God from slavery in Egypt they crossed Red sea, walked in dessert and reached a place Marah which means bitterness. We too face lot of bitter situations in life. But these situations makes us to seek God deligently & helps us to understand our ways (Psalms 18:6 & Psalms 139: 23,24). We understand God's heart and His ways as we seek Him (Jeremiah 29:11-14). We grow stronger in faith as we understand & correct ourselves (James 1:2-4). Secondly, if remember & understand sufferings of Jesus Christ our bitterness will turn sweet (1Corinthians 11:23-26 & Psalms 84:6). Finally, there came a Elim after Marah where it was full of abundant blessing. Jesus gave us hope of eternal life in Heaven through His resurrection from death. So never turn back to slavery of sin when we face Marah (John 16:33 & Hebrews 12:2,3). God bless you
Prayer : Dear Lord as we walk through bitterness help us to cross through. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
