Numbers 20:1-13 is where the Israelites are complaining to Moses (again) about the lack of water. Moses and Aaron get on their faces and seek God and He gives very clear instructions: Moses SPEAK to the rock and I will Continue reading Showing God is Worthy of Our Trust (Numbers 20)

Exodus 31:14 You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his Continue reading Sabbath (Ex 31:14)
