1 Corinthians 10:1-6 ESV
For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did.
Paul says this is an example of what can happen to a believer. Drinking from the Rock that is Christ did not protect the Israelites from their evil desire. It could have had they sought God. The only way to please God is with faith. Drinking from the spiritual water in faith will ensure safe passage through the wilderness.
We choose to remain or pass through. He has made the way.
