Numbers 20:1-13

Welcome to the Sunday School lesson for August 16, 2009.

Here are my questions for now:

  1. What triggers my resistance, challenging-to-authority spirit?
  2. “Why have brought…into this wilderness?” — What are the right answers?
  3. When people question or challenge what I’m doing, what’s my response?
  4. Moses didn’t fully follow instructions, so why did God send water anyway?
  5. “Ye believed me not” — How was what Moses did disbelief?
  6. And why was Aaron punished along with him?
  7. What do I fall back on when I don’t understand God’s ways?
  8. “He was sanctified in them” — how so?

Answer any you wish in the comments below, but I’m particularly interested in your answers to 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8.

Thanks!

Reading:
Numbers 14:9 – 14:12

That’s the title of our next Sunday School lesson (August 9, 2009). The following verse fragments caught my attention in my reading this morning:

“We are well able to overcome it” ().

“We were in our own sight” ().

“And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land?” ().

“Let us return into Egypt” ().

“If the LORD delight in us” ().

I’ve got to do better at rejecting faithless negativity and at embracing faithful, faith-driven positivity. (Did I just coin a new word?!)
