Speak the Word of the Lord

Scripture:

““Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.””
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭20:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Observation:

The children of Israel were complaining that there was no water to drink except bitter water.  They wanted to go back to Egypt where at least they could have fresh water.  God saw them and told Moses to speak to the rock and water would come out of it before their eyes.  God wanted them to see His miracles and how He would provide for them.  He told Moses to speak to the rock so that they would see he walked with God.

Application:

God loves to demonstrate His love and power to His people.  He simply needs a vessel that will do what He says.  Unfortunately Moses added to the word of the Lord and decided to strike the rock, which got him in trouble later.  When God says speak, we need to speak.  I need to always be in a place where I can hear the word of the Lord and speak the word of the Lord when it comes.  I long to see the power and love of God take care of His people.

Prayer:

Father, when there were plagues among Your people in the wilderness, You would give Moses and Aaron what needed to be done to stop the plague.  You would give them instructions to stop what was happening.  Speak to Your people concerning this Coronavirus and how to stop it.  Open my ears to hear what You are saying and let me speak on Your behalf.

Yours Forever,
Jeff
