Read Numbers 12. What wretched human traits are being revealed here by Miriam and Aaron? How is their sin contrasted with the attitude and character of Moses? What should this sordid story tell us about how God views the bad attitudes revealed by these people?

   When we read this passage they were jealous against Moses for
   two things. The first reason was because of his wife, they
   did not like her because the influence they thought she
   had over him.
  
   The second things was that they were jealous of the leadership
   of Moses. They wanted Moses power but they did not want the
   character of Moses. The bible tells us that he was the meekest
   man on earth.
  
   We see here Moses was a man who prayed for Miriam after God
   punished her. This also reveals the character of Moses
   he was concerned for them though they rebelled against him.
  
   God was very close to Moses and He did not like that fact that
   they despised His servant. This is a lesson for all those
   who seek harm of God's anointed. God will not take such
   an offense lightly.
  
Despite the powerful manifestations of God's power among them, these two faithful people displayed some very bad attitudes. Examine your own heart: What bad attitudes need to be purged from you before they lead to your own spiritual ruin?
  
   May the Lord help us all.
  
Prayer: Father please purge us from our bad attitudes. Please make us more like Jesus and more faithful to you. Teach us your ways. I Jesus name amen.
