One of the most impressive descriptions given to any of Gods servants that we read about in the Old Testament has got to be that of Moses in Numbers 12:3.  We find even more people grumbling and complaining against the leadership of Moses as Miriam and Aaron are talking about Moses behind his back.  They are criticizing Moses in this passage because he had married a Cushite.  Being criticized was nothing new for Moses.  It seemed to be a daily ritual that he would be challenged and criticized in a very negative way by so many people.  That is why this verse really impresses me as it is stuck very neatly between all the criticizing.  Verse 3 tells us, “Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth”.  Wow!  I pray that I can live my life in such a way as to be described like this.  Humility is the one characteristic that I believe God looks for the most in His people.  Look at Moses.  He had every opportunity to “flaunt” who he was and what he knew to everyone he came across.  I never read of him doing that.  Instead, I see Moses falling to the ground and crying out to God on behalf of the people that were criticizing him and saying all kinds of terrible and negative things.  Even in the passage involving Miriam and Aaron.  God heard the two of them talking bad about Moses and His anger burned against them.  Numbers 12:10 tells us that God struck Miriam with leprosy.  Here was a great opportunity for Moses to blast them by telling them they are getting what they deserve!  Moses could have stood up and proclaimed how great he was that God would do something like that for him.  In verse 13 we are told how Moses responded.  “So Moses cried out to the Lord, O God, please heal her!”  I propose there is a lot to learn from the example of Moses concerning humility.  A lot to grow in our understanding of concering the humility that God wants us to have in our lives.
