Numbers 12:1-2
“Miriam and Aaron talked against Moses behind his back because of his Cushite wife (he had married a Cushite woman). They said, “Is it only through Moses that GOD speaks? Doesn’t he also speak through us?” GOD overheard their talk. God overheard their talk. Now the man Moses was a quietly humble man, more so than anyone living on Earth.”
“While they were at Hazeroth, Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because he had married a Cushite woman. They said, “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Hasn’t he spoken through us too?” But the Lords heard them. (Now Moses was very humble – more humble than any other person on earth.)”
Moses was an extraordinary man. His wife must have been an extraordinary woman. Apparently, Zipporah died. God gave Moses another companion, not just for sex, but for the emotional, intellectual and organizational support a wife gives. Perhaps, as Moses, she was educated and intelligent with all Egypt had to offer. She did not have a burning bush, but God prepared her in some other way for this calling. She became an unseen pillar of a great man. Similar good works of countless wives are unrecorded in human history. They are worthy, though hidden, and God who sees in secret will reward.
Lord, give me grace to be a good wife. Change me so I can enjoy watching you change him.
