Lenten Reflection - March 5, 2013

Is the Lord with us or not?
Exodus 17:1-7


Moses was faced with a difficult task of keeping his faith and keeping the people he is leading appeased. They are ready to stone him because they don't have water and are thirsty. They whine and complain and accuse him of leading them to a certain death because of their need for water. They tell him not only will they die, but their children and their livestock.

After reading the passage the children gave this as witness that God is with us. Here are some of their responses:
  • If the Lord wasn't with them, they wouldn't have been given water.
  • Because of Moses' faith God gave him the means to provide water to the people.
  • God saved Moses from being stoned.
  • God is always with us even in the difficult times. We just need to remember that.
