It's Hard to Be Humble - Numbers 12:3

"Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth." Being the humblest person on earth is not a character trait we usually associate with Moses. In fact, we usually don't associate humility with effective leadership. But Moses was so humble that it emboldened even his brother and sister to talk against him (Numbers 12:1-2). When Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses marrying a Cushite woman, God Himself defended Moses to them. God told them that unlike prophets, to whom God speaks in visions and dreams, He speaks to Moses face to face and allows Moses to see His form (Numbers 12:6-8). It would seem that because Moses was so humble God was able to speak to him directly and because of his great humility God was able to make Moses a great leader.
