After God delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage, He led them into a wilderness of limited resources. Why would He do that? Why didn't God take them straight into Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey? Well, it was in that wilderness that Israel witnessed the majesty of God, manna from heaven and water from a rock. Who could have possibly imagined there to be... Water in the Rock!
First Mention of Rock in Scripture
"The entire Israelite community left the Wilderness of Sin, moving from one place to the next according to the LORD's command. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. So the people complained to Moses: 'Give us water to drink.'
The LORD answered Moses, 'Go on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Take the rod you struck the Nile with in your hand and go. I am going to stand there in front of you on the rock at Horeb; when you hit the rock, water will come out of it and the people will drink'" (Ex. 17:1-2, 5-6).
Water in the Rock is a devotional journey that will reflect on God's provision of living water. In a notebook, please journal what you learn as the LORD blesses you with insights. To God be the glory!
Welcome!
