With the support of the prayer, we can always feel the presence of God while our close associates make us shrink, shiver, and feel small

Good morning good people,

May the Lord give you peace and health in the Holy Spirit.

Numbers 12:1-13 and the Gospel of Matthew 14:22-36.

Sibling rivalries sacrifice the reputation of a person.

They can be from the same family, community, religious congregation, church, and organization we serve.

The root cause of sibling rivalry is jealousy and gossiping, a malicious and intentional comparison of quality with the overblown pride and arrogance of the other person.

Many of our families have become islands due to sibling rivalries even to the extend of getting rid of them physically and emotionally.

Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses and intended to bring down the name, reputation, image, and the work of Moses.  The Lord intervened in this and stood by Moses and reinstated God’s position of choosing him as a leader who speaks to the Lord’s face to face and silenced and the siblings by inflicting one with the sickness and another was brought down to beg for mercy.

God chooses someone with whom we have a problem, but God has none against the person chosen.  Fighting against our brothers and sisters is like waging a war against God’s judgement, selection, and appointment.

We too will be subjected by God if continue to bring down the name, fame and game of our brothers and sisters.

“Moses was very humble, more so than anyone else on the face of the earth.” (Num.12:3) Unless and until we become humble like Moses and Peter, we cannot deal with the issues of sibling rivalry wherever we are.  Moses demonstrated a type of silence all through while the noises of his siblings were so irritable and unbearably loud and jarring.  Our silence coupled with prayer can heal the wounds and pain of sibling rivalry.

As God saved Moses from the evil tongues of Miriam and Aaron, so Jesus saves sinking Peter as he walked on the water.

With the support of the prayer, we can always feel the presence of God while our close associates make us shrink, shiver, and feel small.  Jesus is ready to heal and fill our hearts with love and faith only when we acknowledge Him, “the Son of God.”

Let us settle our dust and make us clean by dialoguing with the one we have issues with.  Have a peaceful day.  God bless you.
