Fellow Workers

When it came time for Moses to strike the rock in the desert to get water for the thirsty Israelites, his part was very small-just strike the rock. Anyone in Israel could have done it. The main thing was what God was doing in the heart of the earth to provide a bountiful river of water. But the two worked together: Moses before the people; God in the hidden depths of earth. Moses and God were fellow workers. There are always two agents in every fruitful God. The human part is to do whatever God has asked us to do-strike the rock. God's work is to make the water flow. Was Moses weighed down with anxiety that day as he approached the rock, thinking that the might fail? I doubt it. He had only to follow the Lord in obedience. God had promised to do the rest. And Moses had seen God work mighty miracles in the past. Are you anxious about the task God has given you to do today? Do you believe that everything depends on you? Just strike the rock. God is working in secret to pour out rivers of water for every man, woman, and child. And when living waters begin to flow, praise Him. Just do our part and He'll do His. - David Roper = as a fellow worker with the Lord, Do the work He's given you today; You will find His blessings all outpoured- He will do His part if you obey - Hess
