Chapter 12 begins with the word, "Then..." After the complaining and despising of Chapter 11, Miriam and Aaron murmur against Moses. Perhaps as leaders, they thought they were exempt from consequences. Most likely, they thought they were okay doing this because they were right. When we are out of sync with God, even doing what is blatantly wrong will seem good to us.
In Numbers 12:2-3, they ask, "Has the Lord only..." Where did that thought come from? Why does it sound familiar? (Think of the Garden of Eden.) The focus seems to be on what the Lord has done, but actually it is about their role and their dissatisfaction with it.
This is the goal of the enemy:
1. He gets us to not be content with what we have.
2. He get us to covet what we don't have.
3. We get consumed with obtaining whatever it is we don't have.
