Exodus 17:1-6
And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink.
And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the Lord?
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not?
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not?
The people had seen all the great works God did to deliver them from the Egyptians.
We see the faithfulness of God each morning.
When we awaken in the mornings, don't we see the sunshine coming through the window?
By this, we can know God is faithful always to perform HIS word.
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Almost daily I think of this when I see the sunlight. And I know the faithfulness of God to perform HIS word by seeing this sunlight. And I am helped daily to think of this.

Exodus 17:8-16 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi: For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
There are sometimes people I just do not like, without reason for this feeling.

There are sometimes people I just do not like, without reason for this feeling.
When I pray to God, there are times my heart toward these people is not changed and still I have no cause to dislike these people. There is some type of spirit in such people which I see, discerning of spirits. And usually I just avoid such people.
Often I see individuals, on television, especially in advertisements, that I just cannot look upon.
A Catholic woman told me the story of one of their priests that she just couldn't call "Father". She said she had no reason to feel this way but she never could do it where he was concerned.
I suspect there was a terrible evil in this man.
Of course, no man should be called Father based on that which Jesus said: Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
But in the case of this woman, I knew it was God who was controlling her concerning this Catholic priest.
