A work from Kaleigh on the story behind the shirts and the journey they are walking through in this season:
Have you ever struggled to trust something or someone, even when you've seen proof revealing that you can?
By Exodus 15:22, Israel had been shown undeniable favor from God through their journey out of Egypt. He had been faithful to them and fulfilled His promises to them. He protected them and provided at every obstacle a way through. Israel had been delivered from Egypt and crossed the sea to be saved from Pharaoh. He gave them every reason to trust that He would take care of them 100%, but you know what we see just a few verses later? Complaining.
God's people were without drinkable water in the middle of a desert. The water was too bitter to drink. No water in the middle of the desert -- that sounds like a pretty big problem, right? But they had just seen with their own eyes over and over how God was bigger than a nation who had enslaved them. I don't know about you, but as I read that for the first time, I was thinking, "Surely you trust Him to provide you some water." But... they complained. Exodus 15:24 (ESV) says, "So the people grumbled at Moses, saying, 'What shall we drink?' " When I first heard a sermon about these verses back in 2017, in the middle of initially judging the Israelites a little bit, I realized that I, too, have grumbled about my own "desert" and feeling as if relief was not coming, despite God having shown me how faithful He is over and over.
At this time, Caleb and I had not even been engaged yet, but the sermon in church that morning over Exodus 15:22-27 really struck me and have stayed with me since. I would not know the full impact it would have on my life until much later, but after several years of praying for a child with seemingly no answer, and then being given the news that having a baby naturally would be difficult or impossible for us, we became the Israelites in that desert. We grumbled and groaned with each month that went by with negative pregnancy tests. We went through rollercoasters of emotions, agonizing over why and when and how. We were drinking bitter waters despite KNOWING and having SEEN God is faithful over and over throughout our lives. Before God allowed us to start the adoption process, He worked in us to stop that way of thinking and heal us so that we could focus on Him and His plans for us. And despite our grumbling, He gave us a yes to move forward with this journey and be blessed with a child or children.
You see, just a verse later after the complaining, it says, "Then he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He made for them a statute and regulation, and there He tested them." Essentially, they could drink the water. God provided again, despite the groaning. He made something sweet out of bitterness. Exodus 15:26-27 go on to say: "And He said, 'If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statues, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer. Then they came to Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters."
God is faithful. And He will provide, even if it doesn't look like what we imagined at first. His way is always the best way. He has the power to turn the bitter into sweet. So, as a reminder to us of these truths, we have chosen Exodus 15:25 as a verse to keep close over our adoption.
