A couple of weeks ago I was reading in Numbers. Chapter 20 to be specific, the Water of Meribah. This is the episode in which the people are once again whining about not having anything to drink, and reminiscing about how good they had it in Egypt. As you may recall, Moses was told to speak to the rock. Instead, he struck it twice. I find it interesting that Moses’ disobedience did not thwart the will of God, the water flowed and the people drank from the abundant blessing of God. Things went differently for Moses the humble and his bro Aaron. "Because you have not believed Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them." Why did Moses disobey? Why does he state “shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?" Does the “we” include God? Or just Aaron and himself? I’m still thinking on these, so I will take this up again soon.
