Water from the Rock - Numbers Chapter 20 Poem

More about Water from the Rock - Numbers Chapter 20 Poem

The desert parched, the people thirst,
Their cries to Moses, a desperate burst.
God's command, a rock to strike,
Water to flow, a gift alike.
But Moses, filled with anger's flame,
Struck the rock, a deed of blame.
Instead of speaking, as God had said,
Disobedience, raised its head.
Water gushed forth, a life-giving stream,
Yet Moses' act, a broken theme.
Numbers Chapter 20, a sobering tale,
Of God's provision, and human frail.
A lesson learned, a price so high,
To heed God's word, to trust and rely.
For in obedience, blessings abound,
In God's faithfulness, hope is found.
