'' (ESV)\n\n        The children of Israel, having left Egypt, were in the\n   desert of the Sinai peninsula.  There, seeing no water, they\n   grumbled against Moses and against God.  Although they were in\n   the presence of the Almighty, and had seen His mighty hand\n   deliver them from the Egyptians, they had no faith.\n\n        Moses prayed for God's help, and was instructed by God to\n   strike a rock with his staff.  Water gushed out of the rock, and\n   the children of Israel were satisfied.\n\n        Moses recorded in Exodus:\n        And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah,\n        because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and\n        because they tested the LORD by saying, ``Is the LORD\n        among us or not? ''\n\n\n        Every time this story is related, we see that God does not\n   give what we deserve, but blesses us out of His love, grace, and\n   mercy.  Rather than punishing the children of Israel for their\n   lack of faith, He acted on their behalf.\n\n        Moses named the camp ``Massah,'' which means ``temptation,''\n   and Meribah, which means ``strife.''  These names remind us of\n   our sin and God's mercy.\n\n        May our Lord grant us faith to trust in Him for all good,\n   and to hold firmly to Him even when we are in difficulty, knowing\n   He will provide all we need.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1469"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1470,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469\/revisions\/1470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
