“How long will these people refuse to obey my commands and instructions? 29They must realize that the Sabbath is the Lord’s gift to you. 

So once more the people complained against Moses. “Give us water to drink!” they demanded.

“Quiet!” Moses replied. “Why are you complaining against me? And why are you testing the Lord?”

 So Moses struck the rock as he was told, and water gushed out as the elders looked on.

Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset. 

He also told about all the hardships they had experienced along the way and how the Lord had rescued his people from all their troubles.

“This is not good!” Moses’ father-in-law exclaimed. 18“You’re going to wear yourself out—and the people, too. This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself. 

Lord God my Father,

Soften my heart to follow your desires above my own. Help me to live by your design more that by my decisions. Keep me from judging the world with my understanding and allow your plan to play out as you desire. Help me to accept your help and not be proud.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
