Bitter water of Marah

Exodus 15:23-24
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.The people complained about Moses by asking, "What are we supposed to drink?"

Somehow it is really divine. As soon as i put down the 30 mins call, Pst Phil( i happened to let my itune run random and Pst Phil came on.) mentioned these verses and on leadership.

"The capacity of water has a certain level. Once it reaches its capacity, it changes form. It is this form , steam, that causes a kettle to whistle.when you reach the level of your capacity, and you can't take it, you whistle as you complain. The level of your complaining indicates the level of your capacity.

How much can you take before you start complaining? Can you read 500 worrying emails in one hour and keep your act together? can you have 5 angry church members calling you up and keep a good attitude? can you have 5 bank manager calling you up for loan and keep your act? can you say sorry to 500 angry members for the things they have done and not what you did and not get cranky about the people in the church and cg. Can you keep a victorious attitude when you are beaten in school? can you love people when they hate you? can you love your parents when they reject you?

Can you stay in faith when everything is going wrong? Can you not blame God when it seems He is the one allowing these unfair things in life to happen? what is your capacity?

Cos your capacity will determine the level and influence of your leadership in this life. If you blow up and break out when the water is abit hot, when you meet the water of mara, you will go nowhere."


Just in time for me.
