Mose and the israelites had no water in the desert to drink but God has an answer to every problem. God asked Moses to strike the rock and water flowed out of the rock. Whatever problems we face today, ask God for an answer.
Exodus 17:6 "I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Moses was a man that walked in obedience to God's words. In every situation and problems, Moses would enquire of God and follow God's instruction. When Moses and the Israelites found bitter water after crossing the Red Sea, God instructed Moses to throw a piece of wood into the water and the water was purified. This time, there was absolutely no water found in the desert. There was only a rock in front of Moses. God asked Moses to strike the rock with his staff and water started to gush out of the rock. God provided a different solution to the same problem and Moses just obeyed God's words.
We need to learn to listen to God and obey God for all of our problems in life. We would be less stressed and more relaxed if we just learn to seek God every time we encounter problems in our lives and follow His instructions. God has an answer to every situation we face in life. Nothing is in the too hard basket for God. No water? God made water flow from a rock to quench thirst of 3 million Israelites. No job? We can pray for God to provide a new job or pray for God to help us start a small business or pray for God to allow us to further our education.
