Scripture reference;
1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Revelation 22:1-2 KJV
1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Psalm 40:1-4 KJV
Bitter Water Made Sweet
22 Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness ofShur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 When they came toMarah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah.[b] 24 And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25 And he cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log,[c] and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. Exodus 15:22-25 ESV

I was just thinking about how the Lord longs for us to acknowledge Him in all of our ways, to trust in Him, to delight in Him, and to praise Him with hearts and tongues that are sincere. He wants it all to be sincere. He knows that it is not natural for us to be like that.
I think that is why He allows us to fail. I think He has to continually bring us to the place where we are able to realize that He alone is our actual provider, and He does this according to His timetable. I think that is why any new song of praise that we sing is not a song that we wrote, but a song that He wrote for us.
For a long time now I have been in a terrible funk. This morning I was sour. I have been sour a lot lately. Then all of this came to my mind, and it somehow removed the bitterness, at least for the present moment. Pray for me that the fountain of my heart will remain this way,,,that the water will stay sweet.
Love,
Theresa
