EXODUS 15:22-27.
JEHOVAH-ROPHE - The Lord that Heals.
One of the many incidents on the route to Canaan, early on the way. The need here was water, a vital necessity of life-The Word of God.
For three days they marched without water but when water was found it was unsuitable-just like our circumstances. What was first unsuitable, later proved to meet their need. What a change! What was failure at first now was success.
There were no spectacular happenings. God does not need to change our circumstances, He just adds His presence. Remember Daniel in the lions den? Remember the three boys in the fiery furnace?
God's remedy was a tree, standing there for a long time perhaps. A very illogical remedy, just like the Cross-Isaiah 55:8. God showed Moses the tree. He opens our eyes to see the problem, beside every pool of despair. God's presence transformed the bitter into sweet, (Joseph's prison). Beside every pool of sorrow stands the Tree of Life. The place of bitterness led to the place of abundance-Elim.
Before the Covenant of Healing there was a token of healing. His Promise-If they kept the Covenant they would escape the plagues of Egypt.
Israel in the wilderness speaks of the Church on the move. No record of disease, their clothes, their shoes did not wear out. If I keep moving on with God, He has promised to keep me. Obedience is a must. Many want the healing but not the Healer.
ELIM-Twelve springs, one for each Tribe. Seventy palms, one for each elder of Israel. God's individual blessing.
