Bible story: Moses strikes the rock for the first time

Creative activities based on the Bible story of Moses strikes the rock for the first time

The Bible story of Moses striking the rock is found in Exodus chapter 17. After the Israelites left Egypt, they complained to Moses again, this time about the lack of water in the desert. God instructed Moses to strike a rock with his staff, and water flowed out, providing for the Israelites' needs.

This story teaches us about the power and provision of God, who cares for us even in difficult circumstances. It also shows the importance of obedience and faith, as Moses trusted in God's instructions and saw His power at work. However, it also reminds us of the consequences of disobedience, as Moses later lost the privilege of leading the Israelites into the promised land because of his disobedience to God.
