1 Tap

  Have you ever meditated on why Moses tapped the rock twice? This past week here at the office we have been discussing and wondering why Moses tapped the rock twice.  Here is the text:

" Then Raising his hand, Moses struck the rock twice with his staff, and water gushed out in abundance for the community and their livestock to drink. But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you were not faithful to me in showing forth my sanctity before the Israelites, you shall not lead this community into the land I will give them." ~Numbers 20:11-12

 We joked around saying  "What was he thinking tapping it twice? Maybe the sun, the desert, and the Israelites whining like babies finally got to him!" Reading the above passage, made us stop and reflect if we are "working too hard" and not relying on God's will for the film and the company. We are very close to having the film finished, but we need the right people to aid in the rest of the project and we are in need of financial assistance. Sometimes when something is not working our way, we think we have to work harder. We do have to work hard, but many times we neglect to stop and ask God "Am I working too hard in the wrong direction? Is this where you want me to put my energy towards?"  Instead of tapping the rock once, we have been trying to break the rock open because we thought the water that we needed was inside. We were losing focus and not having faith that God is going to provide exactly who we need to help finish the film and to obtain the right monetary support.  Paul says In Romans 8:28 "We know that all things work for good for those who love God."

  Are you punching the rock or simply tapping the rock once? This weekend take some time to reflect and ask God if you are working too hard in the wrong direction. Try giving the rock 1 tap and put it God's hands. :) 

Have a great weekend and please continue to keep us in your prayers.
