INTERCEDING

          As we have studied Psalms 105 and 106, we have seen that Moses interceded on behalf of the Israelites many times. They would completely disobey or fail to trust God to the point that God would offer to destroy them all and start over with Moses. However, Moses always prayed that God would remember His promise to Abraham and protect His name among the nations by preserving His chosen people.

        We, too, stray far from God’s desire for us over and over, but Jesus is constantly interceding on behalf of His chosen children. He is the one who holds us in His hand and provides a way for us even when we fail Him over and over.

        We need to thank the Lord for interceding on our behalf. We should follow His example and intercede for others as we pray. One of the most Christ-like things we can do is to ask the Lord to intervene in a positive way in someone’s life.
