Obedience: Take God at His Word

In the two events of God providing water from the rock, Moses obeyed God's instructions the first time, but disobeyed the second time and wrested God's word with severe consequences.  This obedience and disobedience illustrates a dimension of understanding holiness and sanctification.  God doesn't want us to treat His words casually; His word is holy.  Looking at holiness and sanctification, our running to the voice of the Sayer is a stepping stone in God's direction.  If our ears are tuned to the holy, we will be running to His word.
