Is the LORD Among Us? Water from the RockExodus 17:1-7; Psalm 78:15-16; 1 Corinthians 10:4God's people traveled through the desert to a place called Rephidim, but there was no water. Instead of asking God for help, they argued with Moses and said, "Is the LORD among us or not?" Moses cried out to God. God told him to take his staff and some of the leaders to a rock at Horeb. God said, "I will stand there before you on the rock." Moses struck the rock, and water gushed out for everyone. God was with His people all along. Paul later said, "That rock was Christ." We can trust God with every need.Old TestamentTrust

When the tabernacle was finished, God's glory filled it. We give gladly, because God gave to us first and wants to be with us.Old TestamentGenerosity
