It was there that Miriam died and was buried.<\/p>\r\n<p><sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0The Israelites had no water, so they went to Moses and Aaron\u00a0<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0and complained, \u201cMoses, we\u2019d be better off if we had died along with the others in front of theLord\u2019s sacred tent.\u00a0<sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0You brought us into this desert, and now we and our livestock are going to die!\u00a0<sup>5<\/sup>\u00a0Egypt was better than this horrible place. At least there we had grain and figs and grapevines and pomegranates.\u00a0But now we don\u2019t even have any water.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><sup>6<\/sup>\u00a0Moses and Aaron went to the entrance to the sacred tent, where they bowed down. The\u00a0Lord\u00a0appeared to them in all of his glory\u00a0<sup>7-8<\/sup>\u00a0and said, \u201cMoses, get your walking stick.\u00a0Then you and Aaron call the people together and command that rock to give you water. That\u2019s how you will provide water for the people of Israel and their livestock.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><sup>9<\/sup>\u00a0Moses obeyed and took his stick from the sacred tent.\u00a0<sup>10<\/sup>\u00a0After he and Aaron had gathered the people around the rock, he said, \u201cLook, you rebellious people, and you will see water flow from this rock!\u201d\u00a0<sup>11<\/sup>\u00a0He raised his stick in the air and struck the rock two times. At once, water gushed from the rock, and the people and their livestock had water to drink.<\/p>\r\n<p><sup>12<\/sup>\u00a0But the\u00a0Lord\u00a0said to Moses and Aaron, \u201cBecause you refused to believe in my power, these people did not respect me. And so, you will not be the ones to lead them into the land I have promised.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><sup>13<\/sup>\u00a0The Israelites had complained against the\u00a0Lord, and he had shown them his holy power by giving them water to drink. So they named the place Meribah, which means \u201cComplaining.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"passage-read-more\">Read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Numbers%2020:1-13&#038;version=CEV\" title=\"Read the passage on BibleGateway.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"hyperlink-underlined\">Numbers 20:1-13<\/a> in context and\/or in other translations on BibleGateway.com!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><p>This journal entry finds Camden and Suzie discussing Moses, a rock, and the importance of keeping God\u2019s promises fresh in our minds.
