Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth Numbers 12:3.
Moses was a very humble man and God spoke with him face to face. Meekness does not mean
weakness, it means you have harnessed strength. Your strength is under subjection. And it came to pass
in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens:
and he spied an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren. And he looked this way and that way,
and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. And when he
went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did
the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? Wrong is wrong, no matter who it is that wrong has been
done to. We are not to have a respect of person mentality. If we do not correct ourselves, we will not
inherit the promised land. Moses had a spirit of anger and frustration that he did not properly deal with,
thus, keeping him from entering the land of milk and honey. God is a just God and he will not allow any
act of disobedience go unnoticed and dealt with. Even to his closet and faithful servants, God calls us all
to accountability. He will not bend his word for anyone. The reason Moses was not allowed to go into
the promised land was because he was told by God to speak unto the rock so that water would come
out and give the people and animals water. Mose in his anger and frustration struck the rock twice. And
the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the
children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them Numbers 20:12. TAKE INVENTORY OF YOUR LIFE! CORRECT YOUSELF BEFORE YOU SHIPWRECK YOURSELF!
