2
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>welcome to today's episode of the Morning Glory Devotion necess

3
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Sorry Miyan rebels jabbing from Harvest Chapel International Commercy. And

4
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>it's our privilege to be facilitating today's edition. Please let

5
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 1>us share a word of prayer.

6
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Father, thank you for the wonderful privilege to gather together

7
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 2>at your feet to listen to your word. Please open

8
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>our eyes and let us see wondrous things out of

9
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 2>your word in Jesus' my teen name. Amen.

10
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Amen. Now let us take our confession from Josh chapter one,

11
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 1>verse eight. This book of the Law shall not depart

12
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>out of my mouth, but I shall meditate in it

13
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>day and night, that I may observe to do according

14
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to all that is written in it. Well, then I'll

15
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>make my way prosperous, and then I'll have good success. Amen.

16
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Amen.

17
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 1>A Bible reading text for today shall be taken from

18
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Exceter chapter fifteen, Ver's twenty two to twenty five. Exceidus

19
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>chapter fifteen, There's twenty two to twenty five.

20
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Then Moses led the people of Israel away from the

21
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Red Sea into the desert of share for three days

22
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>they walked through the desert but found no water. Then

23
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>they came to a place called Mara, but the water

24
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 2>there was so bitter that they could not drink it.

25
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 2>That is why it was named Marah. The people who

26
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>complained to Moses and asked, what are we going to drink?

27
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Moses prayed earnestly to the Lord, and the Lord showed

28
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.960
<v Speaker 2>him a piece of wood, which he threw into the water,

29
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>and the water became fit to drink. There the Lord

30
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>gave them laws to live by, and there he also

31
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>tested them.

32
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Amen.

33
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Amen.

34
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Today's episode of the Morning Glory Devotion has been titled

35
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Healing for Better Waters, but one Healing for Better Waters

36
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 1>but one subtitleist Earnest Prayers, Earnest Prayers, Amen Amen. One

37
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest privileges I've had in life is opportunity

38
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>to work in health care. My WREK brings me on

39
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a daily basis in contact with people from all walks

40
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 1>of life. The array of experiences over the years, I've

41
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>learned that I am best placed to help my clients

42
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and patience and unable to see beyond the ailments into

43
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 1>their individual stories. I found that behind every presentation is

44
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>a deeply personal story, and one truth stands out clearly.

45
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>No life is completely immune to sudden harship or misfortune,

46
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and so often a bright and happy season is overshadowed

47
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>by an unexpected ten of events. Think of the couple

48
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>who finally married after years of waiting, only to face

49
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 1>the quiet pain of infertility. All the expectant mother filled

50
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>with joy suddenly told her pregnancy is high risk, or

51
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 1>the parents holding their newborn only to receive an unexpected diagnosis.

52
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>In moments like these, the sweetness of a long awaited

53
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>blessing feels suddenly tainted by harsh reality. This human experience

54
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>is as old as the scriptures. In Exodus, the people

55
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 1>of Israel had just witnessed one of the greatest miracles

56
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>in history, the pattern of the Red Sea. They were singing, dancing,

57
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and celebrating their freedom. Yet just three days later, as

58
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>they journeyed through the harsh desert of Shoe, they found

59
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>no water. When they finally spotted a body of water

60
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>at Marah, their relief was overwhelming until they tasted it.

61
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>The water was foul, better and undrinkable. In a matter

62
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>of days, their joy turned to frustration, and their songs

63
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>tend to better complains. Friends, it is easy to understand

64
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>their distress. But notice how Moses reacted differently. While the

65
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 1>crowd murmured against leadership, Moses took his pain directly to God.

66
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.959
<v Speaker 1>He did not pretend the water was fine, nor did

67
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 1>he allow anger to consume him. He prayed earnestly to

68
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>the Lord beloved when he faced a better tone of

69
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 1>fortune in your own life, say a new job that

70
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 1>has become overwhelming, a relationship that has grown cold, or

71
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 1>a sudden change in your health. The first response matters.

72
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Complaining only depends the betterness that Ennes's prayer opens the

73
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 1>door for God to act. God heard Moses's cry and

74
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.439
<v Speaker 1>showed him a piece of wood, and Moses threw it

75
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>into the water. The bitter stream was made completely whole.

76
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Brothers and sisters, is anyone amongst us standing beside better

77
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>waters today? Let him bring his plight before the Father.

78
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Do not carry the disappointment alone, or let resent men

79
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 1>take roots in your heart. Lay the situation open before

80
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>him in simple and prayer, trusting that he still has

81
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the power to turn your hardest seasons into places of restoration. Amen. Amen,

82
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 1>Now let us take our memory. Verse from Exodus chapter fifteen,

83
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 1>verse twenty five.

84
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 2>A Moses prayed earnestly to the Lord, and the Lord

85
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 2>showed him a piece of wood, which he threw into

86
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the water, and the water became fit to drink. Amen.

87
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Amen, spray Heavenly Father, you see the better places in

88
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 1>our lives today. You know the exact moment where our

89
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 1>joy was interrupted by pain, worry, or disappointment. Lord, forgive

90
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.199
<v Speaker 1>us for the times you have complained instead of turning

91
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 1>to you today, bring these heavy situations before you're thrown

92
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 1>off grace. Pour your healing power into our hearts, and

93
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>make our better waters sweet again in Jesus' name. Amen.

94
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Amen beloved, thank you for being a part of today's
