Today we continued learning about Moses. We talked about how after 39 years of waiting to get into the promised land that many of the followers were frustrated with God and were complaining about not having water for themselves or their animals. God called Moses and Aaron to the top of the mountain and spoke to them telling them to go down to the people and talk to the rock and to use their staff and strike it and water would be available to the people. Moses decided to not follow God and instead decided to hit the rock twice with his staff and water came out for the people; however, he chose not to obey God by talking to the rock first. This angered God and then God asked that Moses and Aaron as well as Aarons son, Eleazar to return to the top of the mountain. When at the top of the mountain God told Aaron to take off his robes and for his son to put them on. Only Moses and Eleazar returned down to the people because Aaron had died. God had punished them for disobeying and this made the people sad and they mourned for 30 days.
The Word Up is:
Trust God-obey. Him.
