One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land

by Priscilla Shirer

There was a rock. There was a hard place. And now an unjust, unfair place. But still, this is God’s place. God’s goal for our journey is not only that we see His power at work in our experiences, as He proved at the Red Sea, as He’s proven in your own life when things looked black and He brought them to life again. He also wants us to see His miraculous power at work in our emotions. That’s why when Moses cried out to God, and God showed him a tree, Moses “threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet” (v. 25). In one swift move of vulnerability and obedience, Moses found God ready to act, relieving both the peoples’ thirst and their tired emotions. That which was bitter had been made sweet.
