GOD PROVIDES DRINKING WATER - MOSES' STORY
When Moses and the Israelites were in the desert and there was no water, God used Moses to convert bitter water into drinking water. Moses threw a piece of wood into the bitter water and it became drinking water. God can provide for us even during the desert time.
Exodus 15:25a "Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink.
How much litres of water is required for a moving population of 3 millions Israelites walking in the desert? The amount of water needed would be a same amount as a modern city today. Water is essential to life. Water is needed for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing, cleaning etc. Without water, the whole community of Israelite would perish in the desert. Moses confronted his biggest challenges since crossing the red seas; where to find enough water for 3 millions people in the desert? The water that they have found was undrinkable, it was bitter. God has a way of purifying the water. He asked Moses to throw a piece of wood to purify the water. The water became drinkable after Moses threw the piece of wood into the water. It seem like the piece of wood acts as a healing agent to purify the water for drinking purpose.
God is so good at doing the impossible. He created nature and He can use what is in nature to fix the problem. He did not allow the Israelites to cross the red seas to died of thirst in the desert. God is so much bigger, He always has a solution to every problem we face in life.
Let us trust in God to continue to do miracles and provide for us.
