Just after the Israelites left Egypt, they find themselves in the wilderness without water and cry out against Moses as their desire for water becomes overwhelming to them. When Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well, he merely asks for water and the conversation leads to a discussion about living water that gives new life. These two passages intersect with regard to submitting out desires to trust in God’s way and his provision. Are you able to wait on God’s mercy to give what you need?
