Exodus 15:23–25 – Jesus at the cross made everything sweet for us in life :)

...when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter... And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. Exodus 15:23–25

God turned bitter, poisonous waters into sweet, refreshing waters for His people when they came to a place called Marah (meaning “bitterness” in Hebrew). When the Israelites could not drink the water, Moses cried out to the Lord. The Lord showed him a tree, which Moses cast into the waters. When he did that, the Bible says that “the waters were made sweet”.

God’s solution then is still God’s solution now: Throw in the tree – a picture of Jesus at the cross – to turn the bitter waters sweet.

Today, if you are facing a “bitter waters” situation in your body or life, be encouraged and bring in Jesus and see what He did for you at the cross. Relief and healing don’t come from dwelling on your pain. Bring in the tree – meditate on how the cross of Jesus has saved and redeemed you – and let the Lord turn your bitter waters sweet!

Give our Lord Jesus all the praise :)
