"....All ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ." (1 Corinthians 10:3, 4)
The thought occurred to me today that the sojourners in the wilderness were not aware that the, "....Rock that followed them...was Christ." They tended to take what they received, and complained when they didn't receive.
There were (are) times in our lives when we were also of those who were unaware of the mercy and faithfulness of our Lord Jesus, "following" us, being our food and drink, even while we were complaining. Today, I am repenting and thanking.
Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for "following" me, even when I was not following you. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
