Water out of the Rocks

Water out of the Rocks

It was when the sun was beating down and there seemed to be no way out that I caused water to come from the rock for the Children of Israel. In the same way do not look around at the wildness and think that nothing can be done. For I am able to take the very rocks around you to bring about the living water that you need.
For the children of Israel did not suddenly find an oasis. They did not walk and find a hidden source of water or a flourishing land. No it was when they were hard pressed for a miracle that I sought to show them my glory. In the same way, do not think that I will need better circumstances and an easier way to provide for you my child.
Rather I will take the very rocks and the very difficult situations around you to show you my blessing! I will cause water to gush out from the very rocks that will make you stumble and have been a struggle for you.
All you need to do is trust in me alone and to not lean on your own understanding. It is in moments like these when you will see how much I have reached out to save you. You will know that I am your God and that I have not forsaken you.
You will see that I am able to do the impossible and no man will be able to take credit for it. No man will be able to say, "this is my doing" for it would have been something no one could have done. If I could show such favor under the old covenant my child, how much more now will I show you this same favor?
If I could accomplish such great things in the past, how much more now where I dwell inside of you? So do not look at the rocks and wilderness around you and think that nothing will be done. For you will come to see that it was me that led you into the wilderness – not to make you suffer – but rather to bring about a miracle in your life.
So come now and see the good things I will do. See how I will move in mighty ways. Then you will surely know that I am your God and that I am with you all of the time, says the Lord.
