“Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank.” Numbers 20:11
Once again, there was no water for Israel where they camped. The people began to contend with Moses, accusing him of leading them to their demise. But God had a plan. He told Moses “speak to the rock” and water would be supplied. But Moses decides to be theatrical, and says “Listen now you rebels” and instead of just speaking to the rock, strikes it twice. The People are rebuked, the water still flowed, and everyone lives happily ever after, right? NO!!! Moses had disobeyed God and would not enter Canaan as a result of this. Lesson? God Must Be Obeyed, even by His closest Saints! HE IS HOLY!!!
