Exodus 34:
9 And he said,
If now I have grace in your eyes, let the Lord go among us,
for this is a stiff-necked people,
and give us forgiveness for our wrongdoing and our sin,
and take us for your heritage.
Bible in Basic English
This is an amazingly bold prayer that Moses, the Intercessor, prayed.
Moses made three requests of the Lord:
Lord, go with us
Lord, forgive our sinful practices and our human sinfulness
Lord, take us as your possession in the earth.
Because the Lord Jesus has died and come back from death, He has made it possible for us to receive the grace and favour from God, that gives us the boldness to pray as Moses prayed.
Are you bold enough to ask the Lord to do these things for you?
As we continue to read this history of intercession between Moses and the Lord, we find that the Lord never rebuked Moses for being bold in asking!
That means He will not rebuke you for asking these things either. In fact, maybe He's been waiting for a long time for you to open up to Him in this way.
Today is a good day to ask God these things for yourself, because all human beings need to have the Lord
Go with us
Forgive our sinful practices and our human sinfulness
Take us as His possession in the earth.
Prayer:
Father, today I, like Moses, have three requests to make of You:
Please, Lord,
Go with me
Forgive my sinful practices and my human sinfulness, and
Take me as Your possession in the earth.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for making these things possible for me to receive because of Your death and rising again from the dead,
and it is in Your name I pray,
Amen.
See you tomorrow, God willing,
when you'll find a new thought here to challenge you!
Meanwhile, have a great day walking with the Lord!
