Hating on your Lifeguard

on May 12, 2012 in Bible Study, Featured

In Numbers 12, there is a pretty common biblical event: Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married (for he had married an Ethiopian woman). They said, “Has the Lord only spoken through Moses? Has he not also spoken through us?” And the Lord heard it. Some people that have been helped out A LOT start grumbling against the one that helped them. Aaron and Miriam have been a part of the deliverance of all of Israel. Miriam was the lead worship singer when they crossed through the Red Sea. Aaron was Moses’ right hand man throughout all of the plagues! And now they are looking at Moses and coveting his glory. As they grumble against Moses, they take part in an almost eternal bout of jealousy. Cain & Abel, Satan & God, the sons of Isaac, the sons of David, Jesus’ disciples, the various apostles that travel around after Jesus’ death, the list...

Here is God, overlooking some blatant screw-ups during one of His most important holy days: Celebrated in the wrong month Celebrated by unprepared priests & Levites (should have only been priests that were clean) Celebrated by people that were unclean Celebrated by many people that weren’t even Jewish! Celebrated longer than God ever ordered it to be Celebrated in ways God never intended (with sacrifices from the king in addition to being from the people) Next time you are at church (if you know me, you know I’m the “you” in this sentence) and you want to gripe or be critical about the way things are being done, look at this hot mess in 2 Chronicles 30.
