Moses & The Rock

Moses strikes the rock in anger, teaching us the high cost of disobedience—and the grace of God even when we fall short.

Have you ever let frustration lead you to a decision you regret? Moses did. In a moment of weariness, he struck the rock instead of speaking to it as God commanded. Water still flowed—God provided for His people—but Moses’ disobedience came at a great cost. He would not enter the Promised Land. Leadership is heavy. Life is hard. And yet, God invites us to trust Him fully, especially when we are tired or discouraged. His grace meets us in our weakness, but obedience keeps us close to His best for us. When we feel worn down, we can call on God. He is near. He hears. And He gives us strength to walk His way.
