{{DOD-January}}
As [[Israel]] followed the leading of the [[Lord]], they entered into different experiences and trials; and these experiences helped them to understand themselves better, as well as to understand the power and [[grace]] of [[God]]. There are three such experiences recorded in chapters 17 and 18.
In verses 1-7 of chapter 17 we read of the water coming forth from the rock. When [[Moses]], through [[faith]], smote the rock as he had been instructed to do, water came forth to quench the thirst of the murmuring [[Jews]]. The [[Jews]] criticized [[Moses]] and murmured against [[God]], and [[Moses]] turned to [[God]] in this hour of trial. When [[Moses]] carried out [[God]]'s instructions, the needs of the people were met.
In our daily trials and tribulations, [[God]] will meet our needs if we are willing to go to Him, seek His guidance, and follow His divine instructions. Too many [[Christians]] today are spiritual pygmies. They never feed upon the [[Word]] of [[God]], and it is, therefore, impossible for them to be equipped to face the world and all its problems.
