Moses the middleman

Exodus 17.1-7

The Israelites are journeying in the desert and come to a place with no water. Fearing death, they complain against Moses, questioning whether they should have stayed in Egypt. Moses asks God for help, and God provides a miraculous supply of water from a rock – showing God’s presence and provision.

Moses had a difficult role as an intercessor, advocating between the Israelites and God. How might we also be those who point to God’s goodness and help those around us encounter God?
