Lesson frtun pa/ft- Bl year period of wandering is now over and, once again. The Chosen are ai Kadesh Barnea without water. They have followed a specific pat tern ever since they left Egypt . That cycle began w ith a problem or obstacle fol lowed by complaints and grumbling. Moses and Aaron go to the Tent of Meeting (Tabernacle) to pray on the behalf of the rebellious peo ple. God would then respond to their needs. Over and over they - replayed this pattern without realizing that God wants them to believe in Him and Him only. After all that He has done by now. you would think that they got it. Lesson: Upon their return to Kadesh. Miriam dies. The sister of Moses and Aaron, she watched her baby brother float on the Nile and ? managed to get his mother as the "wet nurse" Tor pharaoh's daughter. Exodus 15:20 calls hi tx a prophetess who led the women in dance and song after crossing the Red Sea (Reed Sea). She and her brother. Aaron, had their faults as well. Soon after her burial, the people complain about the lack of water. Instead of consoling the men. they wished to return to a land that once enslaved their ancestors. What they know about Egypt is hearsay, yet they want to go back. Going to the Tent of Meeting, Moses and Aaron fall facedown to petition God on the behalf of the rebellious crowd. The Lord tells Moses to take his staff 2nd to Speak to the rock in the assembly. There is* no anger in His voice as the needs of the people will be met. At the beginning of the Exodus, the lack of water posed a problem. That time (Exodus 17: l-7)'Moses was told to strike the rock. The aim of God over and over is for the people to believe .in Him. Throughout their many years of wandering. He sup plied all of their needs and some of their wants. Where is their faith? Where is ours? Moses' sin is striking the ruck (twice! making it seem as if he is doing it. His anger and frustration got the best of him! Rebellion against God alw-ays leads to sin. His lashing out is actually against God . not the people He doesn't honor God as the Pro\ider, Gutde. Protector, and Way Maker! Simply put, Moses upstages God. The people needed to see God. not Moses! Water comes from the rock, hut God informs the leaders that they will not enter Canaan. Moses names the water "Meribah" meaning place of strife. Application: I Samuel 15:22 states that obedience is better than sacrifice, \1oses walked with ,God for many years. As the leader, his sac rifices were great, but ubedU ence is better. God loves this better than a sacrifice It is important fur believers to. recogni/e that we represent God in all that we do. Notice. I said. "represent" not equal' to. In all that i> done God gets the glory, not us? Can we relate today's society to that of the wandering Israelites?? Calendar from fHixe HJ On Aug. 16, during the LI a.m. morning worship service.
