Prayer changes everything.

Exodus 15:24-26 NKJV

And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” So he cried out to the Lord , and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them, and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord  who heals you.”

Shalom! Day #63. Do you know that God does not abandons His people and runs away? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for out unbelieving attitude. Help us to draw life from the Tree of Life, Jesus. Let every bitterness in us go, and let the sweetness of Your life and love fill us. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen!

And the people complained... but Moses cried out to the Lord. This is a difference between a believer and a non-believer. Even Christians can be unbelieving most of the time, they just carry the "Christian" label. Moses, took hold of the tree which God showed him and when he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. Jesus, the Tree of life, our source for living, when you draw life from Him, every bitterness, in your live will become sweet.

If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, you too can experience this sweetness of His LOVE AND LIFE in your lives. Instead of heeding the voice of God and giving thanks to Him, we choose to complain. A complaining heart is never a believing heart. If you keep on complaining, you will loose His blessings, but if you give thanks you shall witness the miracles. Moses was surrounded with a complaining generation, but Moses did not complain. He lifted up his petitions to God in prayer. Are you complaining or are you praying? Prayer changes everything. It changes the atmosphere of unbelief into belief. Your situations, problems are just a prayer away.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
