We Pray

Day 1 of 28 Day Devotional.

Do We Care Enough?

When the Israelites sinned with the golden calf, God declared to Moses that he would destroy the Israelites and make Moses and his descendants a great nation in their place. From a worldly perspective, what an offer for Moses! But Moses cared for the Israelites, wanted God’s Word for the Israelites to be fulfilled and had no selfish ambition for himself.

And then Moses interceded for the Israelites and God heard his prayer. When we intercede in prayer for others, we need to care for them and for God’s purposes to be achieved – it is not about ourselves.

Prayer: Lord God, we ask that as we intercede for others, we will not do this just as a duty but with genuine concern and care for them and without any selfish motive. And, Lord, while interceding, let us always keep your purposes and key goals of our intercession. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Exodus 32:9-11 KJV
And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
