Abundant Waters Bible in a Year: 2 Kings –18 John 3:19–36 Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people drink. Exodus :6 Today's Scripture & Insight: Exodus :1–7 In Australia, a report outlined “a grim story” of extreme drought, heat, and fire. The account described a horrific year with only minuscule rainfall, turning parched brush into tinder. Raging fires torched the countryside. Fish died. Crops failed. All because they didn’t have a simple resource we often take for granted—water, which we all need in order to live. Israel found itself in its own terrifying dilemma. As the people camped in the dusty, barren desert, we read this alarming line: “There was no water for the people to drink” (Exodus :1). The people were afraid. Their throats were dry. The sand sizzled. Their suffered thirst. Terrified, the people “quarreled with Moses,” demanding water (v. 2). But what could Moses do? He could only go God. And God gave Moses odd instructions: “Take . . . the staff [and] . . . strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people drink” (vv. 5–6). So Moses the rock, and out gushed a river, plenty for the people and their cattle. That day, Israel knew that their God loved them. Their God provided abundant water. If you’re experiencing a drought or wilderness in life, know that God is aware of it and He’s with you. Whatever your need, whatever your lack, may you find hope and refreshment in His abundant waters. Reflect & Pray Where are the parched and barren places in your world? How can you look for and trust in God’s abundant waters? I need Your water, God, Your provision. If You don’t help me, I don’t think I’ll make it. Will You bring me the water I need?

"He could only go to God." How many times have I let a situation deteriorate and try to handle it myself, until God was my last resort when He should have been my first? TOO many! It also makes me think of the phrase, "All I can do is pray" and yet, prayer is the most powerful spiritual force we have. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
