Today, I want to highlight God’s miraculous provision of water from the rock in the wilderness—a powerful reminder that He meets our needs even in times of doubt and dryness. The rock represents Jesus Christ, who offers us living water to quench our spiritual thirst and renew our faith.

“Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.”
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
— Exodus 17:6 (NKJV)

We all face dry seasons—times of doubt, complacency, and even complaining. These moments reveal the spiritual thirst we all experience on our journey. When the people of Israel grumbled against Moses, questioning God’s presence among them, God responded with compassion. He instructed Moses to strike the rock, and from it flowed water—a miraculous provision in a barren place.

But this story speaks of more than physical water. It speaks to the spiritual longing within us. The water from the rock becomes a symbol of God’s provision during our most desperate times. It reminds us that even when we question, doubt, or grow weary, God remains patient, merciful, and generous.

Even more profoundly, the rock represents Jesus Christ—struck for our salvation—who gives us the living water that leads to eternal life. Just as Moses struck the rock and water flowed, Jesus was pierced so that grace could flow into our lives.

Yes, we all go through wilderness moments. But in those seasons:

• Keep praying, even if the words are few.

• Stay faithful, even when you feel dry.

• Trust God, even when you can’t see the way forward.

God’s provision is not hindered by our doubts. He brings water—life-giving refreshment—from the most unlikely places.

The Lord Gives Water & Victories!

In the desert of our doubts, God quenches our deepest thirst.

We are fighters and overcomers because He is with us—refreshing us like water and giving us victory over every challenge we face in life.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
