Verse:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding Proverbs 3:5
Thought:
God asked Moses to speak to the rock to give out water when people asked for water in Meribah. Moses trusted that God will give water so He called everyone and stood in front of the rock and spoke to the rock and hit the rock two times (he would have done it because previously when God gave water, he was asked to hit the rock at Horeb, so Moses would have thought, word alone was not sufficient even striking the rock is required). God was so angry and told him, “You did not trust in me enough” Num 20:12.
Therefore “you will not bring this community into the land I give them” Num 20:12. Moses such a great man of God was punished for not having ENOUGH trust. What will happen to us? Let us cry out to God and confess for not trusting Him the way He expects us to trust in Him. No more measuring of trust by thinking. In your hopeless situation do not forget to trust completely.
Prayer:
Jesus help to trust enough with all my heart. No more doubts and fears. Amen.
