The Curse of Miriam is an eye-opening story about Moses’ older sister, Miriam being cursed for speaking ill of his wife. The Lord cursed her with leprosy because she questioned Moses and ultimately the Lord’s judgment. Her story, while brief in the book of Numbers chapter 12, is a riveting one. She goes from singing the high praises of Moses for freeing the children of Israel after the Egyptian captivity to being cast out because she was unable to control her thoughts and words.

The Curse of Miriam is a cautionary tale for all who speak against the men of God to learn how to guard our thoughts and minds. While the Most High may not plague with immediate leprosy or conditions, it is known that all words are recorded and will have to be accounted for; just like Miriam.
