It Shall Bring Forth His Water

Num 20:2  And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.  3  And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!  4  And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?  5  And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink. 

Num 20:6  And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.  7  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  8  Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.  

Num 20:9  And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.  10  And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?  11  And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 

Num 20:12  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.  13  This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them. 

Neh 9:15  And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.

But when carnal minds begin to come among them, it finally drove them off the main path into the desert. They made their fatal mistake when they failed to go on. They were on their journey, not very many miles, they could’ve made it in a few days with all this two million people out into the desert if they’d have stayed on the path.

Carnality had cut off all their joy, all… They begin murmuring and fussing; they took them off in the desert. If anything I hate is a desert. It’s hot; there’s nobody hardly can live there, and everything you get against in the desert’s got stickers on it. Every kind of little old vine’s got stickers on it. You know why? It’s because there’s no water there.

The others, the one with the intellectual part, was looking at what the giants looked like. But Caleb and Joshua was looking at the promise that God had given. Now, it all depends on what you’re looking at.

But if you look at the promise of God, you’ve got a right to every redemptive blessing that God promised in His Word is yours. Right. The Christian always looks at the unseen things.
