What Do We Do When the Water Turns Bitter?

Prayer Journal for Sunday, July 21st, 2013

It is amazing what praise bring forth, such as deliverance from the red sea. However, when the praise stops, maybe the reason we are not goldy is because we don't appreciate how the LORD has changed things when we receive bitter water in this life.

Whenever there is an unnatural shift from shouts of praise to murmuring with others, someone is sick. 

God told Moses to throw a tree in the water to dismiss the bitterness, but the Israelites kept on moving.

What do we do when the water turns bitter? Look for the wells. The twelve wells that they ended up at were put there by God before the Israelites ever encountered the spring of bitter water. 

Sometimes God wants to see how we will handle a situation before He reveals that He has already made provision for our need.

Instead of looking at where we are, we need to remember what we've been delivered from, and send up and offering of praise to God.

Whenever you move forward, you are going to draw automatic enemies; that's inevitable, and how you handle it, well, that's just part of being a Christian.
