God told Moses to speak to the rock but moses must not have believed so therefore Moses struck the rock. Water still came out but for disobident Moses was not allowed to enter the promise land.
There is a lot to think about when Moses struck the rock a second time. Our first strike is to know Jesus and His ever flowing stream of love and peace, yet so soon after, we forget who we really are and how we were led out of our own darkness and washed by the sea of blood, we want to command Jesus with another strike to prove our righteousness (bitter water). If we want to cross the Jordan into the promised land, we must remain humble and be led only by the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus to the washed and made clean heart.
