Numbers Chapter 20 - Consequences for a Lack of Trust
Description
Scott Allen teaches today's lesson from Numbers 20:2-13. Again facing a need for water in the wilderness, the people once again grumble and complain and give full voice to their displeasure and cynicism. The people assume the worst motives for Moses and God despite their history of patient leadership and constant care for the people. Moses and Aaron take the people's accusations to God, who already has the solution for the situation. Yet Moses, caught up in emotions such as anger and frustration over the faithless and thankless people under his charge, fails to obey God's precise instructions. Not even Moses is above God's law, and while God still provides water for the Israelites, Moses learns that, as always, sin brings consequences.
