I had meant to share the Lutheran Study Bible note on Numbers 20:10–13 yesterday:
Meribah means “quarreling.” Moses’ words “shall we” indicate that he and Aaron were claiming credit for the miracle of water, not attributing it to God. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord. God’s servants act as conduits of His kindness. As you serve each day, reflect by asking yourself, “How has God made me a blessing to others in my duties?” Though you will stumble in faith, as Moses did, know that your merciful Father will not cast you aside but will receive you unto Himself by grace alone. • Father, form in me a humble attitude of service and a repentant heart. Amen.
