8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and SPEAK ye unto the rock before their eyes


And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he SMOTE the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. -Numbers 20:11


Good morning, Happy Monday and God bless you! Frustration may be agitation to move you towards or away from your destination. 


Truly a bold statement easily proven in the events which lead up to Moses striking the rock and God denying him entrance to the Promiseland. 


Before Moses allowed his frustration to prompt him to not consider God’s glory and strike the rock only thinking of alleviating his own frustration, folks had plucked his last nerve. 


His brother and sister murmured against him, the people rebelled, his cousins tried to undermine him and finally before he failed his sister died. 


At this point we all would have been asking God, why? None of those events were at the hand of God but all were events that prove the bold statement I presented above. It was no secret of their destination. Moses knew, Egypt knew, the children of Israel knew, the current occupants knew and the enemy knew. 


In the case of Moses his frustration was a thorn from Satan to frustrate him and delay him reaching his destination, but God in His righteous anger denied his entrance. 


The lesson here is to always consider your destination when frustration comes. Where are you destined, how the frustration is designed (sometimes it is specifically designed to target your effort to reach destination) or it may be very subtle?

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
