052 Numbers 12 – 14; Romans 3
Oh my! I feel like a mosquito at a nudist colony, so many good places to land I have no idea where to begin. We have Miriam going up against Moses, the twelve spies -- 10 losers and 2 men, God's final answer, and the turn around that was a day late and tear drop short. To think that is just two chapters!. We have not even looked at Romans.
Loyalty is a good thing and should be practiced in truth. Miriam and Aaron were being disloyal and had totally misunderstood their part in God's progress of redemption. God had a special relationship with Moses, Miriam was punished with leprosy for seven days. It's hard to know your place and be content in that place.
We are trying to get to the land and finally scouts are going out to see the land. The problem is all they saw were problems except of course Joshua and Caleb. Joshua and Caleb saw opportunities because they believed God to be bigger than the problems. So which are you a problem reveler or a problem fixer? I believe history teaches us that it is harder and riskier to a problem solver.
God told these people to not going over and the next day they went anyways! Can you imagine this atrocity of moving twice against God within about 24 hours?! Common sense would say that Moses is not moving and neither is the Chest so, I'm sitting still. Be careful when you move and call it God's will.
Romans just keeps pointing out that we humans have a long way to go. The gap is made up by God in Christ. Amen.
