Moses and the Children of Israel have just been delivered from 400 years of slavery to the Egyptians, by the hand of God.
They have walked for three days and found no water.
They come to Marah, but the waters are bitter.
Moses cried to God for help, and the LORD shows Moses a branch of a tree. Which Moses then threw into the waters, and they were made sweet.
God is (((a visual God))).
This is one of the many ways He speaks to us.
“So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless (((He sees))) the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.”
John 5:19
This is where class time and test time starts.
God makes a statute and an ordinance for them.
EXODUS 15:23-26
“Then they came to Marah, but they could not drink its waters because they were bitter; therefore, it was named Marah (bitter). The people [grew discontented and] grumbled at Moses, saying, “What are we going to drink?” Then he cried to the LORD [for help], and the LORD showed him a tree, [a branch of] which he threw into the waters, and the waters became sweet.
There the LORD made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there
He tested them, saying, “(((If))) you will diligently listen and pay attention to (((the voice))) of the LORD your God, (((and do))) what is right in His sight, and (((listen))) to His commandments, and keep [foremost in your thoughts and actively obey] all His precepts and statutes, then I will not put on you any of the diseases which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”
Learning to tune our hearts to God is in fact, the most important lesson on earth.
I have found that crying out to God in your own personal journal is one of the greatest ways to encounter His daily voice and presence.
