00:00The single strike that cost Moses the promised land.
00:03Rock broken.
00:04The Israelites arrived at Meribah, finding absolutely no water.
00:09They gathered against Moses in bitter, desperate anger.
00:12God told Moses to simply speak to the rock,
00:15but deep frustration boiled over inside the weary leader.
00:18He gathered the crowd and raised his wooden staff.
00:21Instead of speaking, Moses struck the solid stone twice.
00:25Water gushed out, saving the thirsty nation from death.
00:28Yet, God spoke with a devastating and heavy consequence.
00:32Because of his anger, Moses forfeited the promised land.
00:36One single strike erased decades of faithful, miraculous service.
00:40God demands perfect obedience when our emotions run high.
00:43True faith means trusting his exact instructions over frustration.
00:47Never let a temporary temper cost you an eternal promise.
