"Yes" with a little TUDE - Attitude that is!
Today we're having a little chat about when Moses threw a little temper tantrum in Numbers 20:7-12
In fairness, Moses had already dealt with a lot of arguing, complaining, spoiled behavior. His patience capacity was low at this point - frustrated, tired, angry.
When I get like that I tend to lash out too.
The bottom line - Moses does God’s will, BUT he does it without following God’s specific instructions (speak to the rock - Not strike it)- Moses does it his way-
Ever get like that? Fine God, I’ll do it, but I’m not going to do it that way or with that person.
We get: worn out with complaining, frustrated with red tape or dueling personalities, angry about selfishness and then we REACT -
Slow down, step back, take a breath, recenter your energy and thoughts with God through conversation, prayer & scripture before jumping back in.
