Although Moses listened to God, he also ignored God. God desired to satisfy His people by bringing water out of the rock, and asked Moses to only talk to the rock. But because of Moses' great anger against the Israelites for their grumbling against him, he struck the rock twice, ignored God's desire to be gracious to His people. He became more involved in his own anger than God's goodness and will. This was a serious offence, and Moses was punished.
We also are often guilty of ignoring God's desires when we put our own wills over His; when we think or act contrary to His will.
