Introduction: Today, we explore Moses' journey, revealing how actions have consequences despite God's abundant grace.
1. God demonstrated his grace by providing water from the rock, yet expected obedience (Exodus 17:6).
A. Moses obeyed God's command to strike the rock, showcasing faith and receiving God's provision.
B. This act underscores God's willingness to provide for his people when they trust in him.
2. Moses' disobedience led to him striking the rock twice, contrary to God's command (Numbers 20:10-13).
A. Instead of speaking to the rock as God instructed, Moses' actions reflected frustration and disbelief.
B. Though water flowed, this disobedience demonstrated a lack of reverence for God's holiness.
3. Because of his disobedience, Moses was barred from entering the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 3:23-28).
A. God's decision not to allow Moses into the Promised Land underscores the seriousness of disobedience.
B. The consequence served as a lesson in the importance of faith and adherence to God's instructions.
Conclusion: Moses' story teaches us that while God's grace sustains us, disobedience affects earthly outcomes. Let this truth inspire us towards obedient living, reflecting faith in God's plan and his promises.
