“Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.” – Numbers 12:1
When I read this verse, I imagine the tension and conflict that can arise even among the closest of friends and family.
Numbers 12:1 reveals a moment of discord among Moses, Miriam, and Aaron, highlighting how jealousy and differences can lead to misunderstanding and strife. Their criticism of Moses for marrying a Cushite woman serves as a reminder that we often judge others based on our own biases or insecurities. As Christians, we are called to embrace unity and love, recognizing that our differences can enrich our community rather than divide us.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help me to see others through Your eyes and to celebrate our differences rather than criticize them. May I strive for unity and understanding in my relationships, reflecting Your love in all I do. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
