Strength in meekness...
Numbers 12:3
(Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all men on the face of the earth.)
Personal Challenge...
Interesting that God would slip this parenthetical comment into the midst of all that was being written about what Moses was doing for the people of God. Our vision of Moses is often the Cecile B. DeMille character played by Charlton Heston...bold, virulent, and commanding. It is easy to slip into this mindset and expect that people who do great and mighty works for God are anything but meek. But isn't this the kind of person God wants us to be...meek and humble before our God and our fellow man. This does not mean that we are not strong when He needs us to be, but that strength must come from a heart filled with humility. If we live and operate this way, just as Moses did in his life, then any great and wonderful acts that God performs through us are His acts not our and therefore point to Him and not us. A hard lesson to take to heart when we live in a time that pushes us to look out for our own desires. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy.
