7. Marah (bitter waters) Tree cast into the waters made the waters sweet--
the cross of the Lord is pictured for us.
There are many bitter waters when we begin our walk with the Lord to Canaan,
but the cross and the Lord makes them all sweet.
8. Elim Seventy palm trees and 12 wells of sweet water.
What a pity that some stop at Marah or in the wilderness of Shur
when a little more effort they could have made it to Elim.
God helps us to not stop before the waters are made sweet to us.
Is the Lord Jesus sweet to you now?
