The answer is: From a rock

Exo 17:1-7

In the fierce wilderness of Exodus, the Hebrews faced daunting challenges, and one of their most pressing concerns was water. Imagine wandering in an arid landscape, panting with thirst! In Exodus 17:1-7, the Israelites, already weary from their journey, grumbled to Moses, longing for the comforts of Egypt, even though they had been enslaved there.

Moses, in turn, cried out to God for help, and God's response was as astonishing as it was miraculous: He instructed Moses to strike a rock at Horeb, displaying once again that divine assistance could flow from unexpected sources. This act not only provided water; it reinforced the notion that exploration brought life—not just physically but spiritually. Striking that rock became a symbol of tapping into divine potential even in dire situations.

Interestingly, you can see echoes of this event in the New Testament too! In John 7:37-39, a vivid invitation to come and drink is emphasized. Some scholars connect this "living water" to Christ as fulfilling the symbolic essence of that rock. Also, there's a fun trivia note that a part of the geographic region known as the Sinai Peninsula has even been explored by archeologists searching for clues surrounding these miraculous events! This tale isn't just about survival; it's about the ongoing journey towards spiritual nourishment, reminding us that divine guidance is often nearest when we lean into our troubles.
