What is God saying to you? - 6/26/09

I was reading Numbers 20, the account where the Israelites didn’t have any water and they were complaining to Moses and Aaron.



Moses and Aaron fall on their faces before God. And God begins to tell them what to do in Num.20:8. But in Num.20:10-11 Moses and Aaron are mad and Moses strikes the rock twice. And then God says in Num.20:12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."



And by the end of the chapter Aaron is dead, and we know that Moses dies at a later date and doesn’t bring the Israelites in to the land as well.



What struck me about this is. If we do not do exactly as God says. We will not enter into our promised land. No matter if it is God speaking to us from His Word (Bible) or Him speaking directly to our hearts with a Rhema word from God. We must do exactly as He says.



Mary had it right in John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.



What is God saying to you? Are you doing it?
