Bitter Waters

Exodus 15:23 -Then they came to Marah, but they could not drink its waters because they were bitter; therefore it was named Marah (bitter).
    It is downright disgraceful how corruption, greed and avarice run so rampant among those who have been trusted in leadership positions.  The talk of the nation buzzes around the needs of our citizens in Flint, Michigan and surrounding towns for clean water.  Due to negligence, fraud and unbridled corruption, innocent men, women and especially children are suffering from the ravages of poisoned water. 
    As guardians of the land that God created it is our responsibility to not only protect our waterways but to keep them clean for future generations.  Those in charge of waste water collection, treatment, water quality analysis and clean water distribution are especially important because of the many water-borne diseases and chemical contaminates associated with ‘dirty’ water. 
    During their wilderness journey when the children of Israel encountered a spring of water that contained ‘bitter’ undrinkable water, they complained and God instructed Moses what to do to remedy the situation.  The people in Flint, Michigan are crying out and God is instructing the nation of what to do. Several water collections campaigns are in full swing now; with truckloads of bottled water headed to Flint.  Find a place to donate and show the devil that what he tried to do for evil through the corrupt actions of unscrupulous leaders will be thwarted by the generous, caring nature of believers.
Every day is a good day it is up to us to make it a GREAT power-filled day.  Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
