A person can typically survive about 3 to 5 days without water, though this can vary based on factors like: Environment: High heat and humidity accelerate dehydration. Activity level: Physical exertion increases fluid loss. Health and body size: Some individuals dehydrate more quickly than others. In extreme conditions (like desert heat), death can occur in as little as 1 to 2 days. In cooler, low-activity situations, some have survived up to a week, but this is rare. Even mild dehydration can quickly impair thinking, coordination, and physical performance—so it’s not just about survival, but also function. They came off the miracle of the Red Sea, and God had to show up again because they needed water to survive. This week is water. Next week is food. We are tested daily by God to see if we will be obedient and follow his word and commandments, just like the Israelites were after God brought them out of slavery and closer to the promised land.  God wanted them to be obedient.  God Of Miraculous Provision Exodus 15:22-24  1. We Are Prone To Grumble There is general agreement on the locality of these first stops made by Israel. The “Desert of Shur” (v. 22) encompasses the entire district, ranging from Egypt’s northeastern frontier eastward into the northwestern quarter of the Sinai Desert and extending southward to the mountains of Sinai. With the large number of people and livestock leaving Egypt, the inability to find drinkable water is a significant problem.  However, Israel has just experienced the Lord’s power over the waters of the Red Sea, and thus their choice to grumble against Moses about the lack of something to drink is ironic. So, they had just witnessed the greatest miracle in the scriptures, and they were already doubting the power of God. Is this you? Are you a Grumbler? A Grumbler doesn’t tithe, but they have an opinion on how the church should operate. A Grumbler doesn’t want to serve, but wants to point out all the flaws. Is this you? God calls us to be a people of action, not a people of grumbling! Stop grumbling and get to work! Exodus 15:25-26  2. God Calls Us To Unwavering Faith Moses’ faith in being willing to do what God commanded him, without understanding why or how it would work, is what is implicitly commended here. What v. 26 called for was loyalty and obedience: loyalty in the sense of a willingness to pay close attention to what God’s will was and to want above all else to please him by doing what he thinks is right His people must give him full, not partial, loyalty and obedience. If he wanted it, they were to do it. Bring someone up to try bitter water and sweet water. God wants to turn what is bitter in our lives into something sweet. God wants to take our disobedience and bring us to faith. We want all of the promises of God, but do we have the faith to throw the log in the water? We want all of God’s blessings, but we don’t always have the faith to toss the log. 3. God Wants To Heal Us If the Israelites truly listened to and obeyed God, he would keep them from experiencing any of the diseases or plagues he brought on the Egyptians. This promise shows that God wants to heal people rather than to see them suffer the diseases that so often affect humankind—those who follow him and those who do not—in this sinful world. This is Pentecost Sunday, and we are Pentecostals, believing in Divine Healing. Stop and have a prayer for healing for those in the room. God’s heart is to bring healing in your life, healing in your marriage, healing in your family, healing in your brokenness. God did not bring you all this way to leave you! What are our transformational moments? Are you a grumbler? Where is your faith today?
