“Watch Yourself” by Kirk Hunt
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.
Numbers 20:11 KJV
Please read Numbers 20:2-13
Moses’ instructions from God were to speak to the rock. Instead, Moses struck the rock. Twice. God allowed water to flow out of the rock anyway.
Moses disobeyed God. He operated in anger and frustration because of Israel’s faithlessness and grumbling. No amount of reasoning can excuse Moses’ error. Still, in grace and mercy, God honored Moses in front of the people.
Moses, the Lawgiver, forgot to be a law follower. Even a great leader is not too highly placed to be obedient. The great Deliverer, stood before God and was judged for his public disobedience.
Watch yourself. No Christian is excused from obeying God. You first duty is obedience to God, who called and placed you where you are.
Do not let any situation lead you into disobedience. Obey when God speaks. Obey what God speaks.
Watch yourself. No matter what circumstances or annoyances get in the way, remain faithful and obedient. God will cover the rest.
God blocked Moses from entering the Promised Land for his error. Consider carefully God’s commands and assignments to you. Do the right thing the right way.
Think: First and last, I must obey God, no matter what.
Pray: “Lord, help me to be obedient to You at all times.”
