Murmuring ... between us!?

Numbers 12:1-2

“Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite woman. They said, “Is it true that the Lord has spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it.”

The meaning of murmuring according to the dictionary is: "Talking between teeth, expressing complaint or disgust for something" or "Talking to the detriment of an absent, censuring their actions."
Day by day we see how families, long time friendships, children, couples or ministries are destroyed by someone who left the door open and has decided to let the devil into his life ... And the devil uses him as the one who murmurs, says gossips and in this way, He generates disputes.
Today we will find through the Bible how identify when we are part of this group so harmful:

1. When we have the opportunity of praying for our brothers, do we prefer to talk bad things about them? "There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven that are hated by Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that kill those who are without guilt, a heart that makes sinful plans, feet that run fast to sin, a person who tells lies about someone else, and one who starts fights among brothers. "(Proverbs 6: 16-19)

2. Can not we control our mouth when speaking ?: "He who watches over his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles." (Proverbs 21:23)

3. Is there a gossip man out there? If so, do we resemble him?: "Do not answer a fool by his foolish ways, or you will be like him. Answer a fool in the way he has earned by his foolish acts, so he will not be wise in his own eyes."(Proverbs 26: 4-5), "Do not let the man whose talking hurts people stand in the land. May trouble hurry to catch and destroy the man who wants to hurt others.”"(Psalm 140: 11)

4. Have we noticed that we are being left alone because we talking bad things about the people around us ?: "A man of no worth looks for wrong-doing. His words are like burning fire. A bad man spreads trouble. One who hurts people with bad talk separates good friends."(Proverbs 16: 27-28),"When there is no wood, the fire goes out. Where there is no one telling secret stories about people, arguing stops. An arguing man makes fights worse. He is like coals to burning wood and wood to a fire. The words of one who tells secret things about people are like good-tasting bites of food. They go down into the inside parts of the body. Burning lips and a sinful heart are like a pot covered with silver waste. He who hates covers it up with his lips, but stores up false ways in his heart. When he speaks with kindness, do not believe him, for there are seven things that are hated in his heart. Even if his hate is covered with false ways, his sin will be found out in front of the great meeting. He who digs a deep hole will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it return upon him. A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a mouth that speaks false words destroys."(Proverbs 26: 20-28)

5. Finally, are we conflicting people?: "So if I come, I will show what he is doing by the bad things he is saying about us. Not only that, he will not take the Christian brothers into his home. He keeps others from doing it also. When they do, he puts them out of the church."(3 John 1:10)

Please, It is time to (Philippians 2: 14-15) so we will not be more gossips man because (James 4: 11-12)... Please would be careful (1 John 2:19).

What will we do?


God bless you and have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
