Stand in the Gap for the Nation
Observations
1. Why did Moses entreat that the Lord not be angry with what Israel committed in Exodus 32:1–8? What sin did the nation commit? What about in Numbers 14:1–9? How did the Lord react to the nation’s sins in each instance (See Exodus 32:9, Numbers 14:10–12)?
2. How did Moses appeal to God so that God did not bring the intended judgment to Israel in each of the following verses: 11, 12 and 13? How about in Numbers 14:13–16 and also in v. 18?
3. Moses’ willingness to be blotted out of the book of life (See Exodus 32:32) shows his fervency in interceding for Israel. Compare this with Paul’s prayer in Romans 9:2–4. Which other Bible character came to be accursed in place of man (See Galatians 3:13)?
4. Although God withheld His judgment upon Israel in Exodus 32:14, what did God say He will do in v. 34? What does v. 35 and Numbers 14:21–23 tell us about sin’s consequences?
Application
1. How does sin affect the life of a nation according to Proverbs 14:34? Genesis 18:20–21? What does Leviticus 18:24–28 say will happen to nations who commit the unlawful sexual practices listed in the chapter?
2. List the principles used by Moses in interceding for the nation that we learned in Observation 2 above. How can we use those principles as we intercede for our own nation? In which past events did the Lord manifest His deliverance and goodness to the Philippines?
3. Moses was willing to give up his place in God’s kingdom in his desire for Israel to be saved. In interceding for the Philippines, what righteous acts (e.g. pay right taxes, obey traffic rules, etc.) and sacrifices (e.g. help the poor, etc.) are you willing to do in order to show your love for the country and its people?
4. Look at the passages below and identify God’s promises that we can use in approaching Him concerning our own land:
__ Jeremiah 18:7–10 __ 2 Chronicles 7:14 __ Ezekiel 22:30
Prayer
• Use the findings in Application 2 in approaching God as you intercede for our country.
• Cite God’s promises in Application 4 and use them as you come to the Lord. Use also God’s promises in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 as petitions for our country.

Exodus narrated the story of God liberating Israelites from their Egyptian slavery and Moses, a great man of faith. His deep relationship with God reflected in his prayers. He consulted God on every decision he made. He also prayed a lot for others. May this devotional material helps you have a prayerful life that will mirror an intimate relationship with God and that it overflows to intercede for others!
