Five moments that shape our spiritual journey:

1. God forms our trust through bitter moments

Bitter water made sweet

God will test the people of Israel (Exodus 15:25)

4. God fights the very battles we’re up against today 

Exodus 17:8-16
Enemies defeated

God shows up where He is wanted. (Exodus 17:8)

God fights for us, and we join Him with faith, unity, and perseverance. (Exodus 17:11-13)

5. God orders our lives with wisdom
