Moses on the banks of the wide red sea

I've been hearing about Moses and that he did miracles. Some of the understanding is that HE did the miracles. God gave him the power and he did what God said to do and the miracle happened. "I haven't got anything to show Pharoah to make him bend to your will God" "Throw down your staff..." Did God infuse the stick with mystical miracle power? I don't think so. He spoke to Moses, Moses followed His direction and Moses did the miracle. "Pick it up..." It was a snake until He grabbed it's tail and then it became the staff once again. "God, we're trapped" "You hold out your staff, Moses, and see what happens" Moses held out his staff and the water parted. It parted. IT PARTED... "Everybody is thirsty and there is no water..." "Take your staff and strike the rock" Water comes from the rock. "We're losing this battle" "Raise your staff" "WE'RE WINNING!" "But my arms are getting tired" Joshua, "Holding them up Boss" Battle won as long as the staff is up... pretty special staff... You missed it. "God, we are out of water!" "Tell the stone to give you water" "I'll go get my magic staff and-" "Speak to the rock" "Let me just-" "Moses- MO-ses - MOSES!!!" "moses, I told you to speak to the stone" "But God I lost my-" "I told YOU to SPEAK to the stone" Moses was responsible. God told him to do it and he was fine up until God took the crutch and Moses had been using and told him to do it a different way. Speak it, the power is in your words and your intent. The power is in your will. You speak the words that are in your heart and see the miracle happen. You love the people who the miracle is for and the power for the miracle is mined. Moses went back to the formula. He did what he did because it worked before, not because he had faith in what God was doing today. Have faith in what God is doing today. There is life in that. Anything else is vain repetition.
