28 Day Devotional, Day 5:

What To Ask For (part 1)

Moses was clearly one of the greatest leaders of all time. And he made specific requests to God to help him lead the Israelites. The first was to ask God to teach him the ways of God – as a leader he desired to lead in a Godly manner, knowing God and finding favor with God and with the traits and abilities that represent his master. ‘Teach me your ways’ should be the prayer and cry of every person and especially for those whom God has given leadership responsibilities. That was Moses’ prayer and it needs to be our prayer as well.

Prayer: Lord God, it is our prayer that you teach us your ways. We, like Moses, want to know you and continue to find favor with you and to grow in likeness to Christ – for this we ask that you teach us your ways. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Exodus 33:13 KJV
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

He Answers!

Worshiping the golden calf was a sin against God, so God in His righteous anger declared His intention to destroy the Israelites but Moses interceded. And the Bible tells us that God relents and turns His anger away from the Israelites. Moses’ prayer of intercession actually moved the hand of God! What a privilege we have that we too can pray and that God hears and answers prayer.

Prayer: Lord God, let us grow as men and women of prayer. We thank you for the example in the Bible of your answering the prayer of Moses and we know we have a God who answers prayer. Let us pray in faith for ourselves and others with confidence that you hear our prayers and will answer them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Exodus 32:14 KJV
And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

28 Day Devotional Day 3:

Praying The Word

In another prayer of intercession when Moses interceded for the Israelites for their sin, Moses reminds God about His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that God would make their descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky. God had promised and now by destroying the Israelites that promise would not be kept – how could God do that? And God hears this prayer – a prayer based on God’s own promises. Let us use God’s Word and promises in His Word as we pray interceding for others.

Prayer: Lord God, thank you for the Bible, your Word and the many promises you have made to us in your Word. Lord, we have the example of Moses interceding for the Israelites and reminding you of your promises to the Israelites – your Word to them – and this moved your hand. Let us also be men and women who pray to you in faith believing and reminding you of the promises you have made as we pray and intercede for others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Exodus 32:12-13 KJV
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
