If we cry out to the Lord, He will show us the good in the hard and bitter truths of our life, and if we do the good He shows us He will protect us from suffering. The lessons of the children of Israel’s journey out of slavery and to the promised land teach us time and again to look to the Lord and follow Him. As we examine the stories of the bitter water turned sweet and the water from the rock, we are taught that if we can raise our awareness, consider the big picture, and be patient, the Lord will show us His plan for our lives. All truth exists to lead us to good. If we keep this goodness in mind it will help the truth become sweet.

Task for Week 4: Look for the Good
Look for the good the Lord is bringing out of difficult, hard, and bitter experiences in your life.

Consider the Lord’s eternal perspective on your life and look for the good in all situations. Even the hard truths and challenging situations in life are opportunities for growth. When you have a difficult experience, look for the good that can be brought out of it. What might the Lord be teaching you through these experiences?
