I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Numbers 20. “‘Take 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.’ Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, ‘Because 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’” (Verses 8, 11-12). The cost of disobedience?  We miss out on the promises of God. Moses and Aaron missed the promised land. Can you imagine travelling for years towards God’s goal and right on the doorsteps your disobedience disqualifies you! This passage is a wake up call for me. My prayer that disobedience will not keep us from God’s promises for us.
