It’s me, not you.

 

 

 

Moses and Aaron said to the Israelites

Who were against Moses and Aaron and contended them because there is no water

“Listen now, you rebels” (Num. 20:2-3, 10).

But God said to Moses and Aaron

“because you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah” (v. 24).

 

Nathan said to David “There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor.

"The rich man had a great many flocks and herds.

"But the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb Which he bought and nourished;

And it grew up together with him and his children.

It would eat of his bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom,

And was like a daughter to him.  Now a traveler came to the rich man,

And he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd,

To prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him;

Rather he took the poor man's ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him”

(2 Sam. 12:1-4).

“T hen David's anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan,

As the LORD lives, surely the man who has done this deserves to die’” (v. 5).

Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!” (v. 7)

 

We may think that those people are rebels and

Don’t think that we are the ones who are rebelling against God’s word.

But God says to us, “you rebelled against My command” (Num. 20:24),

“You are the man!” (2 Sam. 12:7)
