DO NOT CONDEMN Friday
November 27, 2015
Text: Numbers 12:1 – 9 Memory verse: v 1
\Aaron
and Miriam murmured against Moses condemning him because of the Ethiopian wife
he married. The patience of Moses was tried within his own family, as well as
by the people. The pretence of Aaron and Miriam was, that he had married a
foreign wife; but probably their pride was hurt, and their envy stirred up, by
his superior authority (12:2). Wrong opposition from our near relations, and
from religious friends, is most painful.
God, did not only cleared Moses, but praised him. Moses had the spirit of prophecy in a
way which set him far above all other prophets. Are you quick to condemn people
in authority out of jealousy? Repent now because the God that vindicated Moses
is still on the throne. We should leave judgment and condemnation for God.
Food for Thought: Do you murmur and condemn people out of jealousy?
Prayer: Lord, remove the spirit of jealousy and envy in me.
