“…and the LORD heard it.” (Numbers 12:2)
When Miriam and Aaron grumbled about their brother, Moses, they probably thought they were alone… or at least that they were in receptive company.
Who hasn’t cursed someone behind their back or spoken against another when they believed themselves to be in the right? Phrases like, “somebody has to say it…” or “bless their heart” are bookends to criticism, grumbling, and murmuring the world over. Even the word ‘murmur’ sounds like critique said quietly.
But God heard those two that day. God hears us, too. Whatever you said yesterday, remember, the LORD heard it. Choose your words carefully.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
