Numbers 10 through 14: Complain, Complain, Complain
God basically gave Aaron and Miriam a good talking to and explained that He reveals Himself to whomsoever He wills. In the case of Moses, God assured the two that He spoke to Moses as one many speaks to another. Basically, God was telling Miriam and Aaron to mind their own business and stop questioning Moses or God. When God left their presence, Miriam had become leprous. Aaron was unaffected. I’m going to assume this was so because Miriam might have been the instigator here. Maybe she had become jealous of Moses and his new wife. Even though Miriam was Moses’ sister, she may have taken a less important role after Moses remarried. This could have been the reason. Aaron obviously had concerns or he would not have joined with Miriam, but it’s possible that like Eve, Miriam brought out his desires into the open, whereby he sinned. In the end, they both learned a very valuable lesson.
Worshiping God with Strange Fire…
I’ve heard more than one worship leader say that the music during the worship service is designed to prepare us for worship. I would strongly disagree with that assessment. The time spent with the Lord and in His Word each day is what prepares the child of God to worship Him when gathered with other believers each week, whether on Sunday morning, Sunday evening, Wednesday evening or some other time. In fact, spending time with Him is worship and should impact our lives in that way.
