daring to intercede

Deuteronomy 9:12 “Yahveh said to me, ‘Get up and go down immediately from here. You see, your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly. They have quickly turned from the way that I commanded them; they have made a cast image for themselves.’

Deuteronomy 9:13 Yahveh also said to me, and this is what he said: ‘I have seen this people, and notice, they are a hard-necked people.

Deuteronomy 9:14 Leave me alone, and I will exterminate them and blot out their name under the sky. Then I will make you into a nation stronger and more numerous than they.’

daring to intercede

The Lord is infuriated with the sinful idolatry of the Israelites and asked Moses to leave him alone and he would exterminate them. What would have happened if Moses had not interceded for his people? Sometimes all it takes is one person who dares to pray.

This year, we can be the intercessors who make all the difference.

Lord, give us a heart to intercede for those whose actions are provoking your wrath.
