How Dare you?

Last Night I spent some time reading in the old testament, and as you'll see, I'm very bad with remembering passages haha. but I will make a note of it somewhere. I Promise.

Anyway. I read about how Miriam and Aaron got jealous about Moses and ended up being repremanded in quite a "eina" way. Miriam started this when she merely mentioned grumbilingly how they also had a part to play in the whole leading the nation out of slavery thing. Which in all technicallity is true. the issue was with the state of her heart when she mentioned this. She envied Moses for the attention he was getting for leading Israel out of Egypt. What happened next will make any person's memory (who was raised with strict parents) run cold at the mention of how God decided to handle the situation.

He called them all 3 up, and told them to meet Him in the tent where the Ark was kept. haha that's where my tummy starts turning- knowing there will be a full on confrontation with a parent is rather scary leave alone with an almighty God. pffff! God stood up to them and asked them how they dared to even think ill of the servant he chooses to talk personally to?

This is what got me. We have a personal relationship with God. and although I can never claim to be the person Moses was, I have Jesus and His sacrifice to stand on.

Whenever the world turns on you, and the idea of just wanting to get revenge on someone (however how small) creeps up on you remember that you have an Almighty God saying: HOW DARE YOU?

How undeserving we are, but wow, how glad I am!
