Numbers 12:10-16 (HCSB)
10 As the cloud moved away from the tent, Miriam’s skin suddenly became diseased, as white as snow. When Aaron turned toward her, he saw that she was diseased 11 and said to Moses, “My lord, please don’t hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed. 12 Please don’t let her be like a dead baby whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
13 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!” 14 The Lord answered Moses, “If her father had merely spit in her face, wouldn’t she remain in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.” 15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was brought back in. 16 After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.

Miriam was given leprosy because she instigated a rebellion against Moses’ leadership, as the Bible reveals that she started the complaints against Moses. When God turned Miriam white as snow, a stage of advanced leprosy, he was showing her that her heart was wicked. Are you asking God to search your heart and reveal your wickedness? When he does reveal sin, do you repent of it? Aaron pleaded for mercy. He asked God to remove Miriam’s leprosy. God gave them both a chance to repent. Are you giving thanks for what Jesus has spared you from? Moses forgave and prayed as an intercessor. Are you praying for forgiveness for others who hurt you? Are you praying for the nonbelievers around you to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior? You will one day enjoy the same access Moses did to God. Are you giving thanks for the unearned joy that awaits you?
