Bible Women: Miriam, Moses’ Sister

Summary

Amy, Wendi & Tamara discussed the story of Miriam, Moses's sister and a prophetess in the Bible, highlighting her significance and leadership among women. They also examined her criticism of Moses' marriage and God's response, as well as her rebellion and punishment. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of recognizing and celebrating God's miracles in our lives, while cautioning against judging others based on appearances. They encouraged listeners to pause and rejoice in the good things God has done, and to approach divine guidance with humility.

Main Takeaways

· From Amy, “When I read scripture, I always, I look for two things: Number one, what qualities do I have that they're talking about here? And the second question is, how can I improve upon those qualities that are mentioned here, even if I have them, how can I improve upon them?”

· From Wendi, “You know, even Miriam had to be humbled and called out. And I think that's just a good reminder to always keep ourselves in check, but that we could also be favorite of the Lord and be important to him.”

· From Tamara, “I think we can learn from [Miriam’s] example that it's okay to stand up and be a woman of God and to speak out, and God will correct us if he needs to, and humble us, but just keep loving and praising God.”
