Newberg Nazarene

God works through the human partnership with Moses. God works through the staff, which is divine presence. God works through creation, which is the rock. I think we all got that one. But just like the Red Sea story, just like the plagues, just like we see with the bitter water, even with the manna coming from heaven, we see that miracles are not able to be just simply flattened down to God's actions or natural actions, right? The whole creative order is working together. The story is ripe with ordinary elements containing extraordinary potential.
