Was reading Numbers 12 and came across this verse,
(Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) (Numbers 12:3 NIV)
There is no one else in the bible who was commended in such a way.
This guy, through whom God turned the Egyptian and their gods upside down,
Through whom God split the sea.
The guy who.. In God's own words:
he said, "Listen to my words:
"When there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions,
I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses;
he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face,
clearly and not in riddles;
he sees the form of the Lord.
Why then were you not afraid
to speak against my servant Moses?" (Numbers 12:6-8 )
I imagined, in his humility, Moses did not rebuked Aaron and Miriam his older brother and sister for speaking against him.
But God.. He personally spoke up for Moses.
He personally showed up to stand by Moses and tell them,
'how dare you mess with my man?'
Moses wasn't angry, but God was.
Truly when God is for you,
What is there to fear?
And despite all these, the bible recorded Moses as the most humble man on earth.
That's really something.
