Num 11:29 | MHM | STEP | v. 29 : Moses rebuked Joshua gently, asking, “Are you jealous for my sake?” Moses expressed a desire for all God’s people to have His Spirit and prophesy. He was not threatened by others receiving God’s gifts but rejoiced in it. This humility and generosity reflect a heart fully submitted to God’s will. Moses’s response is a reminder to celebrate God’s work in others, even if it seems to diminish our own position or recognition (Phil. i. 16; John iii. 26-36 ).
