“Warned to Follow”

Numbers 12: 2: “And they [Aaron and Miriam] said, ‘Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?’ And the Lord heard it.” If you’re waiting to find a perfect leader to follow, give up now. Moses wasn’t perfect, but He was humble, and that was enough for God. As for Aaron and Miriam (and others to come), they had yet to learn that yes, they had important roles to accomplish, but these were fulfilled as they followed God’s leader—their little brother! By the way, the cloud stopped moving until they did learn it.
