Exodus 15:22-25 (NLT)
Then Moses led the people of Israel away from the Red Sea, and they moved out into the desert of Shur. They traveled in this desert for three days without finding any water. When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink. So they called the place Marah (which means “bitter”). Then the people complained and turned against Moses. “What are we going to drink?” they demanded. So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink. It was there at Marah that the Lord set before them the following decree as a standard to test their faithfulness to him.

After producing that miracle, God announced to the people that if they continued to obey His commandments, He would always be their Healer.
Many times when faced with an unforeseen and bitter situation, the first reaction is to blame someone, but the one who puts his trust in God, like Moses did, knows where the solutions come from.
If you are in a bitter situation, like the waters of the story, God can change it in an instant. Seek His help, He will always answer you.
Pray like this: Lord, thank You for Your word today. I admit that that I often react to my trials by complaining. So today I seek Your help with each of my problems. I start this day by putting everything in your hands, in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Have a blessed day!
