The 20th chapter of Numbers is exciting as "water gushes out of the rock" but then there is a sad development. Moses is told he did not trust God enough and will not make it to the promised land.
" But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."
This chapter lays out the lack of ego needed by great leadership. Moses, the leader among leaders, will not finish the final steps of the journey. Leadership is not always about finishing but aligning for the next leader. A healthy ego and trust of the Lord is at a great premium then and now.
One other sad note is the death of Aaron. Aaron, too, would not see the promised land. His ego and trust of the Lord also had to stay in check.
