The result of Moses’ disobedience was judgment: Moses was forbidden from entering the promised land. Despite the judgment, however, water still poured from the rock. The same act that brought judgment upon Moses quenched the thirst of the people. God’s power to act is not contingent upon our obedience. God can move in his grace to produce kingdom fruit despite our pride, but the call for followers of Jesus is to have hearts congruent with his work.
