There is an Old Testament story about Moses that can be found in Numbers 12 when Mariam and Aaron speak against him because of his Cushite wife. God then commands them to leave the tent of meeting and gives Miriam leprosy for talking against Moses.
I remembered this story feeling attacked by my supervisor and a great sense of calm came over me. "Stay humble, Jeremy," I thought and God will work it out if anyone should come against you.
Stay humble? The problem, looking back, is that I was not being humble and though it felt like an attack from my supervisor, it was an attack I needed. The Lord's message was clear. I was to stay humble. But when I tried to put it into practice, I was finally able to see past my pride and realize that I was more like Aaron and Miriam than I was like Moses.
