Week 32: August 4 - August 10, 2003

Key Passage: Numbers 12: 3

Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.

What a testimony for a human being who lived on the surface of this earth. He was the most humble person in His generation. This is a great lesson for us at a time like this when very many people, including ministers of God, are proud and arrogant because of their achievements and attainments. God wants all His servants to carry the emblem of gentleness and humility wherever they are and in whatever they do. He wants them to impact their generation with that life style which reflects the life style of Christ.

Moses was privileged to be one of the greatest leaders in human history, yet he was humble and gentle. Before his call, he was a notable prince in Egypt. At the peak of his fame, he was betrayed, and he ran into exile for safety. There, God encountered him and gave him the commission to deliver Israel from a 400 years bondage in Egypt. When he confronted Pharaoh, Pharaoh despised his God and asked, "Who is the LORD, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, nor will I let Israel go” (Ex 5:2). Moses went on to show him the power of the Lord, with ten terrible plagues that humbled him and devastated his nation, that he had to call Moses by night saying, “Rise, go out from among my people…. Go serve the Lord …and bless me also” (Ex 12:31-32). When Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued Israel, desiring to overtake them and return them to Egypt, Moses stretched his rod over the Red Sea, separated it and let Israel pass on dry ground. When Pharaoh and his soldiers stepped into that ground, Moses stretched the rod again, returned the water and drowned them. What a man! However, when he was opposed on his personal marriage decision and accused of monopoly of inspiration, he did not react angrily and arrogantly, he took the matter to God humbly.

This should be to us a great challenge in humility. God expects us to be clothed with meekness irrespective of our achievements or status in life. That will bring us divine favor and exaltation. "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (Jam 4:6; 1 Pet 5:5).

Jesus is our perfect example in humility. He came from the highest and condescended to the lowest. He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death. As a result, God exalted him above all, and gave him the name that is above every name (Phil 2:6-11).

Pray that God will grant you the spirit of meekness. Determine to be an example in humility and gentleness. The grace of God is sufficient for you.
