Day of Praise

Sat, 04/08/17, "Day of Praise"

 

"The LORD said to Moses, '...Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water.'" - Numbers 20:7-8

 

You serious? Not sure I can believe that!

 

Please! Do! Believe God at his word! For unbelief has very undesirable consequences.

 

In today's verse, God asks Moses and Aaron to speak to a rock, and the rock "will pour out its water."

 

Instead, they struck the rock. Yes, the rock miraculously nonetheless poured out its water, but God tells Moses and Aaron that, since they didn't trust God's word by speaking to the rock, the consequence is that they would not enter the Promised Land.

 

Ouch!

 

Got any rocks in your life? Hard-headed people? Situations where you're stuck between a rock and a hard place?

 

God's promise to do something about it is tied to his command to speak his word to the person or situation.

 

God's word alone brings blessing.

Make it a great day with Jesus and his boundless love! And remember to spread it around! 

Praise God!
