Shepherd to Sheep

Exodus 15:27

"Then they came to Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters."

The sons of Israel had begun their venture of faith with a series of trials that tested their faith, and then brought protection and the provision of the Lord. Time and time again the Lord would show Himself faithful towards His people, yet more often than not, they ended up picking at each other in complaint, really their grumblings were towards God. Trust and faith in Him are often an easier said than done type of happening in people's hearts, yet as we see here in this passage, deliverance from the bitter waters of Mara was right down the road. Too often we fail to see the difficulties through to the end, where God already has a plan of relief. Whatever you are going through today, continue to move forward in faith, looking for the springs of living water we have in Christ Jesus.
