Water from the rock

A waterfall pouring down a rocky hill.

Read

Behold, I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. And when you strike the rock, water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Exodus 17:6 (BSB)

and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:4 (BSB)

Think

In the desert the people were thirsty. God told Moses to strike a rock, and water poured out. Paul says that rock was Christ. Jesus is our rock and the One who gives living water.

Talk about it

What is a rock good for? How is Jesus like a rock?

Pray

Jesus, You are my rock. Thank You for taking care of me.
