By Whose Power – Chris Senkler
Moses was excluded from setting foot in the Promised Land because he supported God’s end goals yet was unwilling to follow the means God commanded to get to those ends. Moses trusted in his own strength and wisdom to achieve the end result that he believed God wanted. God desires for His people to follow God’s means and ways and allow for God to accomplish His goals by his wisdom and strength.

This narrative was a crucial turning point to understand the rest of the Old Testament and it helps us see the role Jesus plays as the last human King of Israel, while also handing this position back to God.
