“Moses … struck the rock”

Numbers 20:7-13 - Moses and Aaron sinned by not treating God as holy. Because of this, they were not allowed to enter the promised land.

Numbers 20:24 - Moses did not “almost:” follow God’s ommand. God called his act rebellion.

Deuteronomy 3:24-29 - Moses pleads with God to allow him to enter the promised land.

Deuteronomy 34:1-6 - God did not relent and let Moses enter the promised land.

Moses was not held to a higher standard. God commands all men to live to His standard. See II Samuel 6:1-7.

What lessons do we learn from Moses in this story?

We can never be so right with God that we cannot fall.

We must always watch ourselves and show humility before God.

Do what God says like God says!
