Watch What You Say

Numbers chapter 12.In this chapter we find an interesting story about how to keep out of places we don't belong. God called Moses from the burning bush to go back to Egypt and bring the nation of Isreal out. God had anointed Moses in a very special way.When God called Moses to serve Him, HE spoke these words to Moses." Thou Shalt Be As God". He literally was saying Moses you shall be like me in the earth no other man had walked like this or acted in the manner of God up to this point. We all no the story of how God used Moses to show power over pharoh. In this chapter the children of Israel are camped at Hazeroth. God had just dealt with the rebellious ones.
Now the sister and brother of Moses became upset with moses and started talking about Moses. Listen to the words of Miriam and Aaron:vs2"Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses; hath he not spoken also by us? notice who heard it:"And The Lord Heard It. I just dont understand how we can think we can talk about someone or get into some one elses business and think Gods not going to hear us. Many people have talked about the servents of the Lord and ran them down and then wondered why things stated coming against them. God heard every word that the brother and sister of Moses was speaking against the one that He had anointed to lead the people.Listen to vs 3 Now the man Moses was very meek,above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. Mose was not a vengeful man he was a very humble man and trusted in God. I would incourage you to read this whole chapter. in vereses 7-8 God declares that he will talk with Moses mouth to mouth. He asks the two why were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? Could it be He was letting them know to speak againt Moses was to be speaking Against God due to the relationship Moses had with God. The word says and the anger of the Lord was kindled against them and he departed. Miriam was left as a leper due to her speaking against the servant of God. We can see two things here one God gets upset with us when we start letting our mouths run where they have no business and two the mighjty power of Gods forgiving grace. Here the pryaer of Moses for his sister;"Heal her now,O God,I beseech thee. We know that God healed her I wonder what would of happened had Moses not been the man he was. He was humble and forgiving even after they had been talking about his wife. I am just trying to say to all of us there are things we get are selves into where God may not want us to be and we talk about people that we should not be talking about. God calls those he wants to use for his mighty work. I feel what started me thinking about this was a Christian program I was listening to and they started talking about prosperity preachers, Faith preachers and etc. They were talking in a bad light about them and I was thinking why get mad at how God is blessing them if they were not in His will He would bring them down as we have seen Him do with some in our life time. So the next time you go to say something about somebody think about what God is about to hear. Please read the whole chapter and meditate upon it.
