Wait on God: Do Not Be a Miriam
Verse:
“When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam’s skin was leprous—it became as white as snow. Aaron turned towards her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease.”— Numbers 12:10 (NIV)
Waiting on God can be difficult, especially when we feel forgotten, overlooked, or that things are moving too slowly. This is the lesson we learn from the story of Miriam in Numbers 12. Miriam was Moses’ sister, a leader among the Israelites and someone who had seen God’s power firsthand. But instead of trusting God’s plan, she let jealousy and impatience cloud her judgment.
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, questioning his leadership. “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Hasn’t He also spoken through us?” (Numbers 12:2). Essentially, they doubted Moses’ unique role and God’s decision to appoint him as the leader. As a result, God became angry, and Miriam was struck with leprosy as a punishment. Her impatience and criticism not only hurt her relationship with Moses but also delayed the progress of the entire Israelite camp.
This story highlights a key truth: impatience with God’s plan often leads to unnecessary consequences. Like Miriam, we may question why others seem to be blessed ahead of us or why our prayers remain unanswered. We compare ourselves to others, thinking, Why not me? I deserve this too.
Consider the story of Emma, a young woman who desperately wanted to get married. She had been praying for years, but as her friends started walking down the aisle, she felt left behind. Frustrated, she started dating someone she knew wasn’t right for her, thinking she could “make it work.” The relationship ended badly, leaving her heartbroken. Only later did she meet the person God had prepared for her, but her impatience caused unnecessary pain along the way.
The lesson here is simple: trust that God’s timing is perfect. Just because He seems silent doesn’t mean He isn’t working behind the scenes. Impatience often comes from a lack of faith, and when we take matters into our own hands, we risk stepping outside God’s will.
God sees the bigger picture. He knows when you’re ready and when the blessing is ready for you. If Miriam had waited and trusted God’s decision to work through Moses, she would have avoided the consequences of her actions.
Confession:

A great piece sir. Thank you so much Pastor.
Our God is an on time God. If others being blessed by God, it is not our place to question this. Their time and season may be aligned, where ours is not. We may not have the capacity to receive the blessings in full.
Gods word is for us all, but we are all different and are at different points in our journey. We all need breaking in different ways to honour God in our lives. Our journey is unique to us.
Look at Hannah in the bible. She was ridiculed by her husbands other wife because she was barron. She took her issues to God in prayer, she wasnt jealous or angry, she trusted God. God came through for her more than she could realise, she ended up the mother of 6 children, including Samuel, a prophet of God.
This shows us that when we trust and wait on God, He will come through for us more than we think.
I pray Lord that my family and i have the patience and faith of Hannah. That we bring our concerns before you and trust them to your hands. You are am on time God who always comes through for us and meets us at our point of need. Thank you father for your faithfulness, in Jesus mighty name. Amen
