Numbers 12:6-8
“Listen carefully to what I’m telling you. If there is a prophet of GOD among you, I make myself known to him in visions, I speak to him in dreams. But I don’t do it that way with my servant Moses; he has the run of my entire house; I speak to him intimately, in person, in plain talk without riddles: He ponders the very form of GOD. So why did you show no reverence or in speaking against my servant, against Moses?”
“And the Lord said to them, “Now listen to what I say: ‘If there were prophets among you, I, the Lord, would reveal myself in visions. I would speak to them in dreams. But not with my servant Moses. Of all my house, he is the one I trust. I speak to him face to face, clearly, and not in riddles! He sees the Lord as he is. So why were you not afraid to criticize my servant Moses?’””
Moses was more than a prophet. God gave him the “run of my entire house” God trusted him. What does it mean to be so trusted by God Almighty? Is this where my life with him is going? I cannot imagine. Moses, human like me, spoke with God face to face, without riddles. With trust comes plain talk. I can’t wait!
Aaron just got the tongue lashing. Miriam got this plus leprosy. Maybe it was because she was the instigator and driver of this jealousy. I have flirted with this temptation. Thanks to the Holy Spirit I turned away just in time.
Lord, you have saved, protected, taught, blessed and comforted me through my life. I cannot express my thanksgiving to you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You love is overwhelming. Give me grace to love you back.
