Why Is Marah’s Pool So Bitter?
MONDAY, MARCH 12, 2012

Marah means bitter waters. It stands for every bitter experience we are forced to drink on our journey to Cannan. What makes these waters so bitter? There are many things that contribute to its pollution. Here are five of the major reasons.
First; is an ignorance of the love of God. “Love worketh no ill” (Romans 13-10) God leads only those he loves and he leads them only to such things as are necessary for their good and his glory. (Romans 8:28)
Secondly; it is an ignorance of the sufficiency of Christ that makes these waters undrinkable. Where is the pool so distasteful that his cross cannot make it sweet to the taste? What is the bitterest pool of the journey? Is it death? What is death to those who understand the cross? Is it not an open door into glory?
Thirdly; what makes the waters along our journey so bitter? It is ignorance of the glory of heaven. If we had a true sense of the glory of heaven we should not want to stay here one second longer than needful. To Gods elect it will mean perfect rest, knowledge, conscience, health and a rejoicing heart. God himself will wipe away all tears and the Father will meet you with open arms. The true heirs, sons of God, and joint heirs with Christ will be with him in everlasting happiness. Who believes this and yet finds his departing a bitter thing?
Fourthly: It is ignorance of the presence and power of God. Surely I go with you was Gods words to Moses. What is our Lords promise to us? “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:20) It is his presence and power that sweeten the pool and turn the polluted stream into the sweet waters of grace.
Fifthly; what makes the waters along our journey so bitter is unbelief. How bitter was the loss of Jesus to his disciples. Why was his death so bitter to them? “Oh, fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to have entered into his glory? And beginning of Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke24: 25-27) It is ignorance and unbelief that makes the circumstance so bitter to drink. May God in the midst of our trouble be pleased to show us his cross and turn all our bitterness into a sweet experience of grace. - Darvin Pruitt
