Marah Becomes Sweet

Exodus 15:22-27

After the great victory God gave His people in the Red Sea, they wandered in the wilderness for three days in search of water. 

This helps us know that after a great deliverance there might be hardship for a while but provision will certainly come. This provision however may not come as expected. It could come with a BUT.

People could start describing you with your circumstance. The water at Marah was provision. It was a blessing but because of its taste, no one saw that it was a blessing.

Even in the midst of provision you can still complain because you cannot see.

By the instruction of the Lord, Marah becomes sweet. The Lord is always ready to help if you ask for His help. You have to pray to hear His instructions. With the right instruction applied, bitterness can become sweetness. Obedience is not just enough but obeying with the right instruction.

Marah can be likened to anything negative. It could be a bad break, sickness, lack, denial, disappointment, setback, near success, shame, but with the right instruction followed obediently, every negativity can become positivity. After Marah becomes Sweet an ordinance comes. A law comes from God - A condition that if fulfilled brings the desired outcome.  

After Marah, it is sweetness all the way. So do not be overwhelmed by that situation that is not working in your favour right now because sweetness is on the way. Excess provision abounds. After Marah, excess provision is inevitable.


Prayer Points:

  • Father help me know when there is a provision with a BUT. Help me not complain in the midst of provision just because there is a BUT. Help me see You in every situation.

  • Father help me not describe myself with what I'm going through. Lord may my circumstance not become my name.

  • Father I know you're always looking to help me. Please open the ears of my spirit to hear your instructions. Shield me from familiar spirits that pose as You to bring wrong instructions. Help me obey You with the right instruction.
  • Father help me to keep Your ordinances.

  • Thank You Lord because I know that after Marah excess provision abounds for me.

Zoe's desire: Chapter 1

...What things soever ye desire... As the human body has many members, so does the body of Christ. To be appointed by God to fulfill purpose is a privilege. As every product has a purpose, so is every believer. Discovering our purpose should be our priority in life. The purpose of salt, for example, is to add taste. If it cannot achieve this, the bin will be its final resting place. For some product, a repair may be initiated so it can fulfill its primary function. In like manner, we have different purpose in God and fulfilling that purpose should be our primary focus because every other thing is secondary.   But many a time, we choose to go the other way, the way of our personal purpose. We plan to achieve these purposes even at the detriment of our souls. We do not care. We damn the consequences. We forget that God wants to give us every good thing. We forget that he wants to give us everything we desire.   Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye...

When You Cannot Trace God

Image
Ruth 1:1-22, Psalm 88:14, Ruth 4:13-17 Photo by Elijah Hiett No matter how comfortable you are in life a time will come when you really need that higher hand to save and help you. But when you reach out to this higher hand all you feel is, "Nothing".  You are met with silence that is deafening. It seems God is far away in another country.  You think you will never make it out alive because the trouble has overwhelmed you. You have become a write-off and have become a rejected.  You have prayed, cried, hoped, yet, Nothing is the response you get.  You want to give up. In situations like this when you cannot trace God, trust Him. Trusting Him at the place where you are right now puts pressure on His integrity. God says, I will never leave you nor forsake you.  You may not know what He is up to as everything in your life has come to a standstill. Keep your trust in Him. Just the same way a child trusts the father to be able to provide his needs, trust G...

When they all go

I know of one who never lets go He loves with reckless abandon I took the wings of the morning and dwelt in the uttermost part of the sea Even there he found me Night is light to me because of him His thoughts towards me, precious! I am no longer scared of falling  Falling counts with him He is always right there to catch me Oh my Jealous one You stay even when I get distracted and leave  You wait patiently for my return Oh what faith you have in an undeserving me You meet me half way Your kind of love I will never find elsewhere I'd rather spend a day with You Than a thousand years without You Fairest of them all My Beloved The Most Beautiful What manner of love You have bestowed I can and will always count on You My eggs in one basket with You  My Refuge My Husband  My Essence My Mindful one My Promise Keeper I have fallen for You LORD  And I will fall a Billion miles for You Unashamedly in love I am with You LORD  I know You have got me You p...
