I was reading today about Moses and his brother Aaron and sister Miriam. Talk about family squabbles! Miriam and Aaron were kvetching about Moses - because of Moses' wife. Wonder what they didn't like about her. It really seems as though she (the wife) wasn't the problem, because God called the three of them out. God really stuck up for Moses and took the other two to task. He went on to tell them how special Moses was in comparison to anyone else. Wow! I wonder what it's like to get such a major pat on the back from God Himself. & how Miriam and Aaron felt. I think if I were them I would have wanted to crawl under a rock.

One verse says that Moses was very humble, more than any man on the face of the earth. Pretty amazing considering he stood up to Pharoah and led maybe a million Israelites out of Egypt in the greatest escape ever told. And yet, God gave this man a pat on the back. This has given me something to think about. Humility is not one of my problems....yet, God said He spoke to Moses face to face. There is a lesson to be learned here. I will be considering how to grow in this area. Maybe it will help make my corner of the world a little better.

Hopefully, I will find time to read more about Moses. I'm blown away how God would do that. Wonder if He does stuff like that now.
