Numbers 20:7-13

Failure not to hallow God is a failure of getting to where He has promised you to posses. Moses, a whole giant in the hand of God, put himself in a hole by not getting out to where God had promised the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel. When God commanded Moses to provide water for the children of Israel by speaking to the rock before the eyes of the children of Israel, Moses did not. Numbers 20:7, ÒThen the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ÔTake the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.Ó It was not a suggestion it was a command and wherever you disobey His command you have also failed to hallow and honor His name. Moses went and did what was right to him not what God wanted him to do. Numbers 20:11, ÒThen Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.Ó Moses failed to hallow God by not following GodÕs command. Numbers 20:12, ÒThen the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, ÔBecause you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the Land which I have given them.ÕÕ The Lord already gave the land before getting to the land, yet Moses could only see but was not able to cross over. Despite all he had done, his failure to hallow the name of God disallowed him from the promise land. Disobeying the LordÕs command is a serious matter, take His name very serious and He will take you to where He has for you.
