12:1-13:33 - Miriam
and Aaron complained (12:1-2). Caleb and Joshua encouraged (30;
14:6-9). Thank God for encouragers! How did Moses react to criticism? He
‘was very meek’ (3). He was like Jesus - ‘When He was reviled, He did
not revile again’ (1 Peter 2:23). Moses - ‘a servant’ - was ‘entrusted
with all God’s House’: We look beyond Moses to Christ who is ‘faithful
over God’s House as the Son’ (12:7; Hebrews 3:5-6). In times of
difficulty, we draw our strength from Him. Where there is the
encouragement of faith, the discouraging voice of unbelief is not far
behind it. Unbelief sees nothing but problems - ‘We are not able...’
(30-31). ‘Not able’ or ‘well able’? The choice is yours. Choose faith.
There must be no place for unbelief.
