Honoring the Lord's people and His prophets

Where is the fear of the Lord? Where is the honouring of the Lord's people and His prophets? Psalm 105:15, says, "Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm". Yet people continually speak evil of God, His people, and His prophets. Numbers 12 gives us insight as to how this gets going in people. Miriam and Aaron passed judgement upon Moses. "And then they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it." Numbers 12:2 When we compare ourselves to others and become envious and judgemental of others, it will lead us into much sin and then much trouble with God. God dealt with Miriam with Aaron by putting leprosy upon Miriam. Aaron sought Moses' help and Moses then interceded on Miriam's behalf and God's judgement was turned. He left the leprosy on her for 7 days to deal with her sinful heart. There is no doubt that she was humiliated by God's punishment, but she did get to live on. Let's be careful that we don't fall into the same trap that Moses' sister and brother did. Where is the honouring of the Lord's people and His prophets? I hope and pray that it is in each of us.
