"They Forgot..."

“They Forgot…”

Blessings folk!

May we be certain not to do what the children of Israel did…

Psa 106:21-22
They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done great things in Egypt,
Wonders in the land of Ham
And awesome things by the Red Sea.


God was their Savior.
God still is their Savior.
God is our Savior.
They forgot Him.
We must not forget Him.

He had done great things for them in Egypt (the land of Ham…that is interesting, reflective and insightful of what occurred with Shem, Ham and Japheth from Genesis).

God had done great things.
God had done wonders.
God had done awesome things by the Red Sea…the parting of the Sea.
Yet, they forgot Him. The idea seems to be that they intentionally set aside the Lord.

Therefore…

Psa 106:23
Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them.


God decided to destroy them.
Yet, Moses, the Lord’s chosen one, interceded/stood in the breach before the Lord and the people…though the Lord promised to raise up a nation from him!
God turned away His wrath.

Exo 32:10-14
“Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and I will make of you a great nation.”
Then Moses entreated the LORD his God, and said, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people whom You have brought out from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
“Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, ‘With evil intent He brought them out to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your burning anger and change Your mind about doing harm to Your people.
“Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
So the LORD changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people.


For whom are you interceding?
For whom are you entreating the Lord?
