Marah and Elim

Today's devotional in OUR DAILY BREAD the writer, Marvin Williams, speaks of the desert experience the Israelites struggling through for so many years. He relates both the Marah bitterness and the Elim refreshment. Like the wandering children of Israel we too have both the highs and the lows, the bitterness and the "times of refreshing".
Williams closes his thoughts by saying, "If you are being led into a wilderness of disappointment and bitterness right now, trust God, for He knows exactly where you are and what you need. As you obey His commands, He will lead you out of the desert and into a place of spiritual abundance, healing and refreshment."

So, my friends, regardless of where you are at today in your life's journey, Immanuel is with you and will bring you out of bitterness into blessedness or, if you are entering a dark period, the Light will shine on your path.

Have a great weekend!

David...Where do you find all of the time to be reading beside the Bible, the Daily Bread, and all of the excellent links that you advise us to go to and read?
You are an amazing man...You gather it and THEN you take the time to share it with us!...from Terry
