Why Miriam of Numbers?

Two reasons:

1--I'm in the process of reading Numbers at the moment. It seemed appropriate.

2--I'm a master-level complainer. Numbers is all about the Israelites complaining in the Wilderness. Many died because they were foolish and did not focus on God's blessings as well as His constant Provision, Protection, and His Word. Because of their lack of faith and their fear of the reports from the spies who scouted out Israel, because the Israelites were afraid and did not faithfully follow God's instructions, they would never see the Land promised to them.

Complaining and bitterness are not small matters to God. They're not easily placed to the side either. A life of bitterness and complaining and depression. These are the things I have wrestled with.

And only God can heal.
