Cry

 Numbers 11:2 ESV

Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire died down. 


The people were moaning about their troubles, and God was angry that they were like spoilt children. Instead of praying to God to have mercy upon them, they cried out to Moses. We should be like Moses.

If we belong to Jesus, we should encourage people to cry out to us about their troubles, and to bring them to the Lord in prayer. Of course, people can go directly to him, but we can also intercede for others before the throne of grace. Jesus is the ultimate Moses, our Great High Priest who represents us before Father God.

I'll always remember a neighbour telling mum she has faith and asking her to pray for her son to qualify as an accountant. He did, but as far as I know, that family are still nowhere spiritually. It's not enough to cry, we need to pray to the Lord.

We don't need a pope, Mary, or 'saints'. We just need Jesus to stand between us and Father God. Our God is a consuming fire, but Christ can fireproof us.

'Our heavenly Abba, may the fire of your anger at our sins be quenched in the blood of Jesus. For we ask in his name, amen'.
