The Importance Of Looking At The Waters Of Marah

These thoughts are not my own since they come from Jewish commentary, all I have done was to rearrange them so I have not done much or anything of importance. So here is a work poorly done and unfinished.
When one looks at the waters of Marah, the two incidences with manna, the two incidences with the quail, the golden calf, the grumblers, and the spies; what can one learn from these and implement into our lives. We shall look at these from many different aspects. First, what can learn about ourselves, second, what can we learn about the world, third, what can we learn about God, fourth, what can we learn about morality, and fifth, what can we learn spiritually.
First, what can we learn about ourselves. Our starting point is when the Israelites
Instead of displaying the least amount of patience, they complained immediately, this occurs when one has a lack of respect and our stubbornness. One experiences frustration because they recollect the past bearing in mind how good they had it and how better off they were, one goes from unrestraint, the optimistic view of Christianity which they imagined, to coming under the yoke, the reality of our faith. Subsequently, we complain about our situation, we mourn for a life we could have had instead of rejoicing over the one we have. We find that it is narrow and not wide and we pine away and forget that our failure to follow God’s commands is defilement of the soul. One has not yet accepted these statues as a way of life and treats them merely as emergency regulations.
Let’s look at this way, when one stubs their toe the effect is felt by the toe and throughout the body. These effects are seen the toe hurts, one cries out, and the eyes may water, now there are the unseen, the nose, ear, and alike are affected. So, sin does more than one is lead to believe, they are not personal they also have societal or bodily effects. One effect is our relationship with God this manifests itself through the reductions of His rank, position, and reputation by reducing His quality or value with us or the people we come in contact with on a daily bases. To understand this better this I will use the moon as the example. We all know that the moon has no light of its own, it is dependent on receiving and reflecting light from an external source and thus, when the moon is not directly exposed to the light of the sun it becomes invisible. Just as the moon, we ourselves do not generate our own light, we are not the masters of our own fate; we rely entirely on God to guide us. As David points out in Psalms 27:1 “my light and salvation” in other words, God is the source of light. Whenever one sins or are in a state of sin, the sins act as a barrier between them and God, they are deprived of their source of light. So we speak of this as God hiding His face from us and walking in darkness. Although we enjoy our original privilege of independence known as
