Numbers 20
Israel complained about not having enough water so God commanded Moses to speak to a rock from which rivers of water would flow - enough to quench the parched tongues of all the people and their livestock. Instead, an angry and frustrated Moses, struck the rock twice. The water still came, but along with it came the consequences of disobedience. Despite all of his good and godly efforts in leading God's people, Moses was barred from leading them beyond the Jordan because of his disobedience at Meribah. God's specific accusation was that Moses and Aaron did not believe Him. Their actions were the result of unbelief. Not a steady state of unbelief, but a moment of unbelief. Jesus is our better Moses. He never sinned by acting out of unrighteous anger. He marched into the land of milk and honey because He kept His head - in several figurative ways.
