Numbers 14:1-15:41
How do you respond to the evil and wickedness around you? God gets to a point where he is ready to annihilate the nation of Israel and start over again, but Moses inter‐ venes. God is ready for justice, but when Moses petitions for God to forgive, he relents. It is a strange interaction, but one that happens multiple times in the Bible. We have seen this when Abraham petitions God to save Sodom and Gomorrah, we will see it in the ministry of Jesus, and in the epistles as they pray for God's grace.
This role as a courageous intercessor on behalf of the wicked is a consistent theme in the Bible, but is it a regular pattern in our lives? As we pray, are we asking for God to shower his grace upon our neighbors, co-workers, and family; or are we filled with anger towards them? Let us follow in the path of those who have gone before us by regularly interceding (as the priests we are) for those in our lives.
Father God, I pray for _____________. I pray they will experience your grace and forgiveness in their life. Help me not to get frustrated towards them, but instead be a vessel of your grace and love to them today. I pray today they would encounter you in a real and powerful way, and their life would be transformed. Amen.
Who in your life do you need to pray for more regularly?
