Disputes, disagreements, rivalry, jealousy and envy do occur even among siblings. Our text shows us how Aaron and Miriam, Moses’ older brother and sister, complained against him.
As it is many times the case, their problem had to do with Moses’ wife. She was not from their tribe. God had to step into the matter. And He did so in instant judgment, which left Miriam leprous. Lepers in Bible times were not allowed to associate with other people.
Family feud is bound to happen to any family. It becomes very difficult however, if it is about someone’s spouse, and especially centering on tribe. Two have become one and any intrusion would be met with God’s judgment!
There may be a cold war going on in your extended family. Serve as an agent of bringing peaceful co-existence. God will help you do that as you seek Him earnestly in prayer for wisdom.
QUESTION

PRAYER
You have called me to live in peace with You, O Lord. Help me to extend peace to my extended family. Amen.
