KINGDOM PREPARATION PART II DAY FOUR: Scripture Reading: Numbers 20:1-13 Focus Verse: Numbers 20:2 “No Water!” Today’s verses remind us again of how important the “water” (The Word) is to God’s people. The response of the people to the lack of water is a strong indication of how important God’s Word is to the very existence of His people. When “there was no water for the congregation” the people feared for their very lives. When there was no adequate supply of water, the people became fearful and began to question their ability to survive in the wilderness. God gave Moses some specific instructions on how He planned to supply this much needed water (verse 8) but later, in verse 10, we see Moses and Aaron making a very presumptuous statement when they asked “Must we bring water for you out of this rock?” God’s command to Moses and Aaron was that they were to “speak” to the rock that had been previously smitten so that He might “bring water” forth for the people. However well-intentioned God’s servants might have been, they were acting well beyond their personal authority when they assumed that they could make a provision that could only be found in Christ, the “Smitten Rock,” Who alone has the power to provide the spiritual needs of God’s people. Prayer Emphasis: •Recognize your personal responsibility to find spiritual refreshment by “speaking” with the Lord in the ways that He has commanded us. Commit time to daily prayer and Bible reading and you will find all you need to continue in your journey toward God’s perfect will for your life.
