Overcoming challenges: Bitter water at Marah
I will just be using just one of the many cases of challenges they faced when they left Egypt. It was the case of the problem of bitter water in a place called Marah.
Now, lots of the children of Israel complained bitterly just like the bitter water they encountered at Marah. They were very thirsty and wanted water to quench their thirst.
Now, on getting to Marah, they found water. They joyously rushed towards the golden discovery, bent down to drink but found out that the water was bitter. They quickly threw out the water from their mouth. They were completely disappointed and depressed.
They immediately vent their anger on Moses and God. They began to say all sorts of faithless words. God was displeased.
His children had not learned their lessons. God was not happy with them.

[27]Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters.
