Miriam's Death

[S] Numbers 20:1 --
In the first month the whole Israelite community arrived at the Desert of Zin, and they stayed at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.

[O] Not sure exactly how many years passed since Miriam last criticized Moses (with Aaron) in Numbers 12 but since her consequence of being outcasted for 7 days with her leprous skin, we do not read anything recorded about her ministry until now when she died.

[A] Stay humble and not get sucked into gossiping, jealousness toward others success, and instead honor God's glory and trust that He will honor my servanthood.

[P] Father, please use every year of my life until the last breath for Your ministry to bring out Your honor and glory.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
