Moses cried out to the Lord. Exodus 15, verse 25.

Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread.

Our reading titled Not Grumbling Against God was written by Karen Huang and read by Joyce Dinkins.

Exodus chapter 15 verses 22 through 27.

Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the desert of Shur.

For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came

to Mara, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. That is why the place is called Mara.

So the people grumbled against Moses saying, what are we to drink? Then Moses cried out to the Lord,

and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became

fit to drink. There, the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test.

He said,

If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes,

if you pay attention to His commands and keep all his decrees,

I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians,

for I am the Lord who heals you.

Then they came to Elim, where there were 12 springs and 70 palm trees,

and they camped there near the water.
