Good morning people of God, I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. The message for today excites me and I pray it will excite you and help you in becoming a better person the moment you come in contact with it.
Our Bible passage for today is from Numbers 20:1-end and the memory verse is Numbers 20:12 "Because you did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."
The people of Israel moved into the wilderness of Zin, there was no water there and the people once again attacked Moses and Aaron saying all manner of ugly things to them. Moses and Aaron left their presence and went to the door of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. The glory of the Lord appeared and the Lord told Moses to take the rod, gather the people and tell the rock before their eyes to yield water. Moses gathered the people but instead of talking to the rock, he hit the rock with his rod twice saying; "hear now you rebels, shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock? This was the opposite of what God commanded Moses to do.
The reality is that Moses believe God, he has had encounters with God in many occasions and saying he didn't believe that water will come out of the rock by mere speaking to the rock is mere fallacy. Also his words at the point he struck the rock indicates that Moses have had it with the people and couldn't control his temper at the time. Unfortunately in God's business your feelings doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is absolute obedience.
It is not that you cannot feel good or bad but whatever your feelings may be, obeying God's command comes first before that feeling.
Today, God has put us in charge of one thing or the other and sometimes due to our feelings we neglect our responsibility and disobey God's command. Because Moses disobeyed God's command, he ended up not getting into the promised land. Thus, the inability to control our temper and obey God's directives robs us of our blessings.
How well do you control your temper? Controlling your temper is the key to enjoying your relationship with God and man.
Till I come your way again, remain blessed.
