Exodus 17:1-7
And he called the place Massah(testing) and Meribah(quarreling) because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the Lord saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?
Water from the rock: God shows Moses the place. Sinai limestone is known to retain moisture.
This incident, an the names Massah and Meribah, became a byword for rebelliousness.
'Test' is a neutral word in Hebrew, like English 'tempt'.
People of Israelite quarreling and testing the Lord for the lining food. This is a common challenge of our faith to the Lord in daily life.
Actually our daily life provision is most easy to the Lord Almighty. The more importance is the faith to the Lord.
How?
God is my rock, my salvation and my strength, when I obey his commandment and honor his holy name, God will enough grace and needs.
