Rock

God tells Moses to bring water out of the rock. Moses strikes the rock twice and water gushes out for everyone to drink (Numbers 20:1 – 11). 'Water came out abundantly' (v. 11, AMP). The apostle Paul also tells us how to interpret the water coming out of the rock. He says, 'They... drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ' (1 Corinthians 10:3–4). He is the one who quenches our thirst. Material things alone do not satisfy. God is so generous to us. Water did not come out in a trickle – it came out abundantly. Jesus came to give you abundant life (John 10:10, RSV). He promises to satisfy your spiritual thirst with 'rivers of living water' (John 7:37 38). 

Lord, my rock, thank you that you satisfy my spiritual thirst. May I, through the Holy Spirit within me, bring the water of life to others.
