Scripture – Exodus 32:11-13

11 But Moses implored the Lord his God and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath; change your mind and do not bring disaster on your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, how you swore to them by your own self, saying to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’”

Prayer Focus: Moses responds to the Lord with a plea on behalf of the people. Moses reminds the Lord that it was God (and not himself) who brought the people out of Egypt. Moses suggests that God is going to get a bad name if God acts to consume the people in the wilderness. Remember the covenant and the promises. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (using the name “one who struggles with God” as opposed to Jacob). When you are angry, what helps you remember? What calms you? Be in touch with those memories and promises today.
