Don't strike, Speak

When the Israelites left Egypt abd were on their wat to the promised land, at some point there was no water for them. They complained against Moses and berated him for bringing them out of Egypt. When Moses and Aaron seek the face of God, God instructed Moses to take his rod, and in the presence of the whole congretation speak to the rock, and it will produce water.

Moses did not follow the instruction, instead he used the rod to strike the rod twice. it produced water abundantly no doubt, but God became angry with Moses because instead of speaking to the rock like he was instructed to do, he struck the rock.

Moses met the need of the people, but displeased God. Numbers 20:1-13

How many problems in homes escalate because someone choses to strike instead of speaking to the hear of the issue?
How many lives and communities all across the world would still be intact if nations ahad chosen to speak rather strike? The Bible says in Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger”.

Verse of the Day: James 1:19. So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
