he struck the rock a second time when God told him that he should just speak to it . punishment: he didn't get to go into the promised land.

In my heart I think that God's most obedient servant was Jesus. But to answer your question, Moses was disobedient when God told him to get water from a rock. Moses was disobedient and struck the rock several times. He was punished by not being able to go into the promised land that he had led the people of Israel to. God took Him upon a rock and showed it to him but he was not allowed to enter in. May God Bless

Moses wasnt perfect . Jesus was the one who did not sin and the most obedient. God knows we are imperfect and yet loves us. He knows our heart and our faith and obedience is counted as righteousness. Moses killed a man and all of a sudden ran away from being prince of Egypt to being in the hot desert wandering. Moses also did not want to be the prophet for God but he asked for the help of Aaron. He also got prideful in the desert and God never let him enter the promise land. He will be in heaven for eternity and this lifetime is short. Make sure your heart is for God.

Moses was not God's most obedient servant, Jesus was. He was obedient even unto the death.
For Moses' disobedience; striking the rock instead of speaking to it, he was not permitted to lead the children of Israel into the Promised land!

I really wouldn't say that Moses was Gods most obedient servant. He didn't want to go back to Egypt in the first place. Then he argued that he wasn't a very good speaker so his brother Aaron had to do the talking for him. Other examples of his trouble obeying are already listed in other answers.
My vote for obedience would be Job.

First of all, how do you come to the conclusion that Moses was Gods most obediant servant.
He disobeyed God when he hit the rock

Moses(pbuh) was a mighty Prophet of The God Almighty. Prophets never disobey the will of God. Stories about disobey of any Holy Prophet or misconduct by any Holy Prophet mentioned in current Bible versions are man maid changes and corruption.
That is why Qura'n gives information that people made so many changes in Holy scriptures and corrupted those scriptures. You will find lots of bad references and allegations towards holy people in those corrupted scriptures and these things are nothing but serious unjust allegations against Holy Prophets.

g-d provided a rock that miraculously produced water for the jews while they were wandering in the desert. one time, g-d commanded moses to speak to the rock to produce water, but moses struck it instead. for this he was forbidden from completing the journey and died before the jews entered the land of israel.

YES MOSES DID DISOBEY GOD. MOSES STRUCK THE ROCK TWICE WHEN GOD TOLD HIM TO SPEAK TO IT. MOSES DIDN'T GET TO GO TO THE PROMISE LAND.

He struck the rock in anger to get water to come out when God only told him to speak to it. For that he was not allowed to go into the Cannan land with the Israelites but was allowed to climb a mount to see it from afar and then he died.
