Bible Doctrine Notes
17:1-7 DISCIPLESHIP, God’s Leadership (4.33A)
The whole Hebrew community was united in commitment to following God’s command, but when there was no water at Rephidim they rebelled against Moses, God’s representative among them. They threatened Moses’ & in so doing they were really questioning God’s leadership of them. The miracle of the water from the rock confirmed Moses position as Israel’s leader, under God’s direction. God often assists his leaders when they obey Him follow His leadership.
