7 Days Confined (Numbers 12:13-15)
Miriam spoke against God’s Anointed Moses, (Numbers 12:1-12). In God’s anger He reprimanded and chastised Miriam. Moses cried to God to heal Miriam. God replied if her father spit in her face would she not have to go through the disgrace? Confine her out of camp for 7 days then bring her back.
7 falls (Proverbs 24:16)
Seven times the just fall, and is raised again. One does not reach any heights unless you’re coming from a low place. There’s a universal balance that instructs us to appreciate goodness. To acknowledge and uphold the good, however, one must first experience the bad. It’s the path that human nature has chosen since Adam and Eve in listening to the evil one after God had already given the direction to Not eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. We have therefore fallen into the death of the Knowledge of good and evil battle that constantly broil within each being. Still, God, in His immense compassion toward us, set plans for our restoration to return to Him. We have reached rock bottom but not to remain there. Rather, to remember that God plans for us to prosper and looks to raise us even after our great fall. So wobble not in sin, don’t remain hiding in a corner licking your wounds too long (so to speak) after having received blows that came to destroy you. Just as the saying goes “while your head has not been chopped off, hope to wear a hat,” so also one should keep hope alive in God who has not brought you this far to leave you. Yes, you’ve had a great fall, oh,Chosen One, but get up, dust yourself off, and look to rise above the fall. Lesson learned? Now go forth and prosper for God’s glory!
