Praying from Leaders

March 6, 2008

Numbers 27:12-17 UPDV
(12) And Yahweh said to Moses, Get up into this mountain of Abarim, and look at the land which I have given to the sons of Israel.
(13) And when you have seen it, you also will be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
(14) because you rebelled against my mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
(15) And Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,
(16) Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
(17) who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of Yahweh not be as sheep which have no shepherd.


Moses did not have to be so gracious here. He could have been so angry at the people because they had provoked him so much he got mad and did not follow God. God even reminds Moses of this. I know that I would have most likely been mad enough to spit bricks. Moses, however, shows the signs of a leader.

When the time is coming to end, Moses says to God, look, I cannot go in, but give the people a leader. They need one. They will wander away. God, help them and give them a leader.

Men, when was the last time that you prayed for you wife when you were mad at her? Are you being the leader that you should be.

Workers, do you pray for the people above you or below you. They do not seem to have a clue of your needs some times, what about you praying for them.

I could go on and on here, but I think you get the message. Pray for others around you.
