After the mountain top, now what?

After the mountain top, now what?

After crossing the Red Sea, a glorious victory

what's next?

the children of Israel went out into the wilderness

found no water

and they came to Marah, where the water is bitter

after a mountain top experience

it often follows by a valley

maybe you just stepped into the valley and came to your Marah

everything had come to point where its so bitter

there seems to be no 'other source'

and maybe just like the children of Israel

you complained against the Lord

asking God, what shall we drink?

or will we be like Moses?

Moses cried out to the Lord

and He 'showed' him a tree

sometimes in the midst of going through crisis

our mind gets so blocked up

we cannot see properly

the fact is:

the tree was there along lei

so when Moses cried out to God

He did not cause a tree to appear

threw seeds from heaven and rain over it 

so that the tree is planted there

He simply 'showed' Moses the tree

and there the Lord said that He made a statue 

and an ordinance with them

and there He tested them

if a test is all you are going through

will you be like Moses and pass it with flying colors?

or you will become like the children of Israel 

who stood there complaining?

Many people stayed, remained and died in the valley

because with pride they constantly look at the past experience 

and never step further

while the rest whine and complain 

about all that they are being put through

looking at their current situation 

they do not have the courage to move on

some are just satisfied with the 1 bitter well they found

with little faith they believe that at least got 1 bitter well 

is better than dying of thirst out there wor

the bible says that

"if you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sigh, 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."

to diligently heed, means showing care and conscientiousness 

to give attention to or take notice of...

when Moses diligently heed to voice of the Lord

God brought them out of Marah to Elim

where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees

a place of abundance~

Elim is just half a day's journey from Marah

your even greater breakthrough is just a milestone away

but its only until we are willing to trust God

moving from the place of, just a well of bitter water

into the wilderness AGAIN

to realize the 12 wells and 70 palm trees ahead of you

you dun have to stay at the valley de

after a mountain top

could be another even greater mountain top

you decide where you go wor
