Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.
Numbers 20:8 NIV
The waters that flowed that day at Meribah were God’s answer to the perpetual complaints of this thirsting thankless mob he calls his own.
The capacity for human selfishness, mistrust and faithlessness is mind blowing.
I suppose it shouldn’t be. But rather what is truly mind blowing is that God loves us in spite of ourselves. It’s a tall order but he fills it to overflowing (contextual pun intended.)
Water from a rock.
Is there nothing he won’t provide for us in our time of need?
Jehovah Jireh.
I think not.
