GOD ON TRIAL

Series: EXODUS

GOD ON TRIAL

October 20, 2019 | Michael Davis
Exodus 17:6

Moses named the place Massah (which means “test”) and Meribah (which means “arguing”) because the people of Israel argued with Moses and tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord here with us or not?”  Exodus 17:7 (NLT)

At the Lord’s command, the whole community of Israel left the wilderness of Sin and moved from place to place. Eventually they camped at Rephidim, but there was no water there for the people to drink.  Exodus 17:1 (NLT)

So once more the people complained against Moses. “Give us water to drink!” they demanded.  “Quiet!” Moses replied. “Why are you complaining against me? And why are you testing the Lord?”  But tormented by thirst, they continued to argue with Moses. “Why did you bring us out of Egypt? Are you trying to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?” Exodus 17:2-3 (NLT)

Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What should I do with these people? They are ready to stone me!”  Exodus 17:4 (NLT)

The Lord said to Moses, “Walk out in front of the people. Take your staff, the one you used when you struck the water of the Nile, and call some of the elders of Israel to join you.  Exodus 17:5 (NLT)

I will stand before you on the rock at Mount Sinai.  “Strike the rock, and water will come gushing out. Then the people will be able to drink.” So Moses struck the rock as he was told, and water gushed out as the elders looked on.  Exodus 17:6 (NLT)

“He split open a rock, and water gushed out to form a river through the dry wasteland.”  Psalm 105:41 (NLT)

“All of them ate the same spiritual food, and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ.”  1 Corinthians 10:3-4 (NLT)

Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”  John 7:37-39 (NLT)

The Lord says, “Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness. For there your ancestors tested and tried my patience, even though they saw everything I did.”  Psalm 95:8-9 (NLT)

 

GOD IS THE PROVIDER IN EVERYWAY EVERYDAY
