Numbers 12:1 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman. 2 And they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it. 3 Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth. 4 And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” And the three of them came out.
We have seen the last two days that the Lord not only sees, but He hears. He hears our grumbling and complaining - especially against Him. He also hears our critical speech and gossip against others, like our God-given leaders and relatives. Remember Moses was both to Miriam and Aaron. Do we really take this seriously? Imagine how our speech (and thoughts) would be changed if we really lived like God hears it all. (And He does!) We must always think and speak as if God is in the room (and He is!), and if we are going to talk about others, include Him in the conversation, expecting Him to speak into the situation, because He will, and He will act accordingly. (Continue reading in the chapter to see how He does here.)
