Dt 9:13-20
This text gives us three lessons :
What God doesn't like most, what is human nature, and how prayer of
intercession is important. Above all, what we need most in today's
word is the prayer of intercession.
- WHAT GOD HATES MOST (13-15)
God sees his people and it was a
stubborn people, they became proud and sunk in sin. God wanted to
detroy them completely (14). God wanted even to destroy the corrupted
leader Aaron. What does God hate most ? When a human becomes an
ennemy of God because of his sins, hope disappears.
- WHAT IS HUMAN NATURE ? (16)
« You had turned aside quickly
from the way that the Lord had commanded you » says the author.
How I am myself cunning ? To them who were barely saved from
Egypt, when they must receive the commands of God, they sank in sin,
without overcoming their sins in the flesh (Ex 32:1-6). That's why a
human must always tie himself to the Lord.
- THE PRAYER OF INTERCESSION (17-21)
Look at big brother Moses who prayed
for the leader Aaron and the people who were corrupted. It's the
prayer of intercession. When failure comes, it's important to pray
more. If there is prayer of intercession, we have hope. Did you learn
prayer of intercession ? (Rm 8:34). Who is your intercessor ?
(Hé 7:25).
Prayer : Lord, you know me. Grip
me by your mercy, give me your forgiveness.
Bottom line : « in wrath
remember mercy » (Ha 3:2)
