Monday: Interceding for Grace
Read Exodus 32:1-14. What role do we find Moses playing here?
After the people began worshiping the golden calf, God decided they had gone too far and announced that He would destroy the people and make Moses a great nation. But rather than taking up God’s offer, Moses pleaded for God to show grace to His people, and God relented.

Exodus 32:1-14 raises two important issues. First, God’s offer to destroy the rebellious people and bless Moses was a test for him. God wanted Moses to demonstrate just how much compassion he felt for these desperately disobedient people. And Moses passed the test. Like Jesus, he pleaded for mercy for sinners. This reveals something very interesting: sometimes God may also allow us to face opposition; He might allow us to be in a crucible so that He, we, and the watching universe can see how much compassion we have for those who are wayward.
What reasons did Moses give for asking the Lord not to destroy Israel?
Second, this passage shows that opposition and disobedience is a call to reveal grace. Grace is needed when people least deserve it. But when they least deserve it is also the time that we feel the least like offering it. But when Moses’ sister Miriam was criticizing him, he cried out to the Lord to heal her from leprosy (Numbers chapter 12). When God was angry with Korah and his followers and threatened to destroy them all, Moses fell on his face to plead for their lives. The next day, when Israel grumbled against Moses for the death of the rebels and God threatened to destroy them all again, Moses fell facedown and urged Aaron quickly to make atonement for them all (Numbers chapter 16). In his own meekness, in his own selflessness in the midst of this crucible, Moses sought grace on behalf of those who certainly didn’t deserve it.
| Think about the people around you who you think are the least deserving of grace. How can you, with meekness and selfless humility, be a revelation of God’s grace to them? |
Amen!

Have you had the chance to share Jesus with a friend, loved one, or neighbor? This #short video from Pastor Ted Wilson's weekly message reminds us that, while we are eager to go to heaven and claim God's salvation, we must also reach others for Jesus. We must spread the gospel while there is still time to assist in the salvation of the lost. Watch the video to hear Pastor Ted Wilson's message on how we might reach the world for Jesus, and let us assist one another in sharing the truth that we have in Jesus.
