SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 30:1-2 * In the Bible the number three may signify completeness or finality so we need to make a move in this third month of our year of recovery. * David and him men reached Ziklag to discover their losses and pursue to recover on the third day. 1 Samuel 30:1 * When Israel left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea, "they went three days in the wilderness and found no water" Exodus 15:22-25 * On the third day they came to Marah where they found water but they could not drink it because it was bitter. Exodus 15:23 * Moses "cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet" Exodus 15:25 * May every bitter water in your life be turned sweet this third month of this year of recovery. * Three days before they reached the river Jordan the people of Israel were asked to prepare themselves to cross the Jordan to possess the land.
