There is alot of things happening in America today because of covid churches are being tested in ways that haven’t been seen ever for many Christians. In the bible we see many examples of how people who had God’s word given specifically to them for the purpose of leading others into God’s will. I like to think of Moses leading the children of Israel into the promised land and how God spoke to him. How absolutely terrible the children of Israel were towards the hardships they faced. How over and over they lost faith in God’s plan for them. Over and over God instructions to Moses bring the people back to the right path. At times it took showing his power and righteous anger. Sometimes it took showing his awesome mercy, understanding and love.
Today we have also been untrusted to reveal to the world his great plan started as soon as Adam sinned, passed onto Abraham, eventually being fulfilled his great plan of mercy to redeem man through Jesus Christ by working threw the children of Israel. We have all of his instructions clearly in the gospels and epistles on how to walk in his ways to lead as moses lead. How we show God to be is how unbelievers perceive his righteousness, love, mercy. Do not weary of doing good because of the unrighteousness of non believers. Much love to everyone reading and happy sunday!
Numbers 20:8-12 KJVS
Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. [9] And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him. [10] And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? [11] And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. [12] 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.
