Pride and jealousy often go hand in hand. They cause a person to focus on insignificant things while losing focus on their blessings. Miriam was guilty of jealousy. The first sign of pride (ego) is when a person identifies some insignificant fault in others. Miriam and Aaron talked against Moses because he married an Ethiopian (Num. 12:1). That was not the real reason of the jealousy. The bitterness was “Hasn’t he (God) also spoken through us?” (Num. 12:2). Jealousy causes people to resent others. In this case Miriam appears to resent Moses’s leadership. Jealously causes one to overlook the fact God blessed them with authority too - a prophetess and a priest. Don’t lose focus on what God put in your hand. Each gift or talent is important. Use it according to God’s will. How do we prevent ourselves from suffering Miriam’s dilemma?
Seek God in every thought and action. Pray for Strength. Be Christ centered, God directed and spirit-minded before you act in all things.
