What do you do when you feel under threat or depleted? Do you find yourself withdrawing, arguing or freezing up - unable to lead or make decisions? Throughout the Exodus teaching series, we have seen Moses and the Israelites respond in all three of these ways whilst under pressure. In Exodus 17.1-17, as they fear for their survival they consider giving up and going back to slavery. They start to argue heavily with their leader and create division. Then, in a moment of weakness, Moses freezes up and pressures God to do a miracle, to prove that everything will be okay. In this story we remember the call to praise God and remember His goodness, including and especially in the face of lack.
