Jehovah-Rapha, The Lord Who Heals

Plus Jehovah-Nissi, The Lord is My Banner

March 3, 2022 • Bryan Fojtasek • Exodus 15:22–27

In Exodus 15, Israel was at another dead end. After wandering in the heat of the desert for three days without any water, Israel was one the brink of death. They desperately needed water if they had any hope of survival. Just when it looked like their prayers were answered, everything came crashing down. The water they found was too bitter to drink! God showed up in a mighty way and turned their bitter water into life-giving water. In the same vein, God shows up for us in our dead-end moments to bring us hope and renewal. He is the Lord Who Heals.
