Watch What You Say!

Our God is omnipresent! He hears and knows ALL that is going on throughout the world. We sometimes forget this in our flesh. We sometimes distance ourselves of who God is and tend to think He was that way back in the Biblical day, but don’t mistake He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). In Numbers 12 there is an account of Moses’ brother, Aaron, and sister, Miriam, who talked about Moses because he married an Ethiopian woman AND they questioned if Moses was the only one God can speak to… WHOA! And the Bible says, God heard them! Folks, this is good reading! The Bible described Moses as a meek man in this chapter, meaning he probably did not say a word to his siblings for talking about him. But the Lord called the three of them to a meeting in the tabernacle and got the siblings straight. Folks, it was not pretty. I encourage you to read it for yourself. We see many life principles here. Of course, watch what you say about people because God is listening. We should be building each other up and not tearing each other down. It goes back to the old adage… If you can’t say something nice, keep your mouth shut. The other life principle is it does pay to be meek! It is how the Bible described Moses. It is also one of the Beatitudes in Mathew 5:5. It tells us we do not have to defend ourselves when people come up against us. Which leads to the third life principle… God is our vindicator! God will take care of the people who come against us. We are called to continue manifest the Fruit of the Spirit in ALL situations. Sometimes that means we remain silent and let God handle it as He did in Numbers 12. Love & Blessings!
