From My Heart
We love the new year because it's a chance for a new
start. In Deuteronomy 34, the children of Israel are
getting ready for a new start. There's one major
problem I see...Moses doesn't get to go in and get a
new start. In Deuteronomy 32 we are told why.
What had Moses done wrong? Israel had been in the
desert for 40 years when they came to the Meribah. This
was the desert and water was a precious commodity. And at
Meribah there was NO water. The Israelites were NOT generally a patient
people and when things didn't go their way they tended to get argumentative
and blame Moses for their troubles. They demanded that Moses get water
and they wanted it NOW!!!
The LORD said to Moses, ''Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron
gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will
pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so
they and their livestock can drink.''
So Moses took the staff from the LORD's presence, just as He commanded
him. He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and
Moses said to them, ''Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this
rock?''
Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water
gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. 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.'' (Numbers 20:7-12)
Scripture of the Month
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the
LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall
be as white as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool.”
Isaiah 1:18

There are times when life just doesn't seem fair. In fact, there are times
when life can seem SO unfair that we actually begin to question God. When
those times come we have a choice to make: do we trust God or don't we?
Why not begin 2015 with a renewal to TRUST GOD!

As far as we know this was the ONLY mistake Moses had made in 40 years.
And Moses had had to put up with these bellyaching Israelites for ALL of
those 40 LONG yrs.
Have you ever listened to children as they argue, and quarrel, and bicker ?
How many of you have YELLED at them? How many of you have said
something you're pretty sure you shouldn't have? I have! Can you really
blame Moses for having finally had enough of these Israelites? It hardly
seems fair that God denied Moses the privilege of going into the Promise
Land.
