Speak To The Rock Part II

  “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” Numbers 20:8

Today's inspiration aims to open our eyes to some of the people God has placed in our lives to help us reach our maximum potential. However, I need to warn the readers that as much as we are to cherish this people, we should take heed that we do not idolize them in the process. They just happen to be used by God in our lives.

What we normally overlook and never take into cognizance, often is what God wants us to consider for there lies God's answers for our prayers. Our extra-ordinary success is embedded in the most ordinary people and things around us. God places our blessings in the most common things of this world and it's our divine duty to be meek and acknowledge such. We loose nothing by doing so instead we gain it all eventually. 

Joseph's meekness to Potiphar gained him favour in the eyes of Potiphar until he made him overseer of his own house. The same attitude caused the chief prisoner to commit all prisoners to Joseph's charge. In no time, he was lifted up to his destiny and became the prime minister of Egypt. Once again, I need to say this: God has men and women out there to help you reach your goals in life. 

It's amazing how God responds to our prayer requests sometimes. When Moses with his brother Aaron came before God's glory to submit the murmurings of Israel, God sent them back to the last thing they could think of, "the rock". It was from that rock that water gushed out in abundance quenching the thirst of the entire nation as well as their animals. What is it that God is sending you to that looks so ordinary that you overlook and you still go back to Him with the same request when He has actually showed you your blessing?

Take-home message: 

Whatever the form and status of the people and certain things around you, never undermine them. God has placed them there for a reason. From them there could flow water of life like in the case of the rock God referred Moses to. From them there could flow God's richest blessings for your life that would benefit one generation to the other. From them there could flow solutions to your problems. Some people were placed by God in your life to help you accomplish your destiny. Look around for your rock and speak to it!
