Glorify God At All Times.
“And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.” Numbers 20:12.(KJV).
Moses was upset because of the behavior of the Israelites when they asked for water.
God commanded Moses to speak to the rock to let the water out.
Moses was upset.
He hit the rock with his staff, saying: “Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?” (Numbers 20:10).
Moses did not talk to the rock as God commanded.
He took the honor by saying, “must we fetch.”
It is understandable to feel frustrated, even to get angry when stressed.
When everything seems to go wrong, people pressure us to do something.
It is dangerous to be upset with God.
Neither Moses nor Aaron entered the promised land because of one moment of weakness.
Do not do things that will warrant :
“you will not enter the Kingdom of God.”
Glorify God At All Times.
In All Situation.
Don’t be provoked to speak wrongly.
Application to the Christian life:
Watch your behavior.
Watch your relationship with God.
Remain humble.
Follow Jesus.
Do what Jesus did.
