Numbers 19 & 20
Inspired thots
God instructed the Israelites on so many offerings in order that they may be ceremonially clean ~ i.e. holy ... for He is a HOLY God.
Hence, when the Israelites complained to Moses and Aaron about having no water to drink, it must have been the straw that broke the camel's back... Being humans, they could not endure the constant incessant grumbles of the Israelites; even most gentle Moses fell in his endurance.
Moses acted in anger against the complaining Israelites; however, it was a display of distrust in God. God instructed him to SPEAK to the rock for water but he struck the rock twice. Was striking the rock striking back at God? One must really learn to listen to God AND OBEY if hear correctly.
Holiness is VERY important to God....
> Trusting God is one thing... trusting God ENOUGH to HONOR Him as HOLY in the sight of others is Crucial.
