Prayer: It Takes All Kinds
Prayer - It Takes All Kinds by clbcommunications
“It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round!” That’s one of my wife’s favorite expressions when we encounter a disagreeable person. Maybe you have similar thoughts about some of your neighbors or people you work with. Think of poor Moses. Someone described his situation as follows: “Moses probably had the most critical, rebellious, awkward, ungrateful, unreasonable congregation of grumpy old men that any leader or pastor could ever have.”
The Israelites rebelled and mutinied against Moses, provoking God to say, “I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they.”
But Moses interceded for them. He earnestly prayed, “In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.”
What a lesson it is when Jesus reminds us to pray “for those who spitefully use you and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44)! As we look to the Holy Spirit to re-mold our attitudes, we can pray for “all kinds of disagreeable people” whom God, with his great love, wants to forgive and to pardon.
Pray on!
