“And I fell down before the Lord.”

Deuteronomy 9:13-21, “The Lord spoke further to me, saying, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed, it is a stubborn people. Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’ So I turned and came down from the mountain while the mountain was burning with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. And I saw that you had indeed sinned against the Lord your God. You had made for yourselves a molten calf; you had turned aside quickly from the way which the Lord had commanded you. And I took hold of the two tablets and threw them from my hands, and smashed them before your eyes. And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger. For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lord was wrathful against you in order to destroy you, but the Lord listened to me that time also. And the Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him; so I also prayed for Aaron at the same time. And I took your sinful thing, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small until it was as fine as dust; and I threw its dust into the brook that came down from the mountain.”

Moses saw the unfaithfulness and sin of the people and interceded before the Lord for them, and especially for Aaron. We hear a lot of talk today about those walking in darkness and of their sinful actions; what if we took the attitude of Moses and interceded before the Lord for our own nation and world? Would He be pleased to bring revival?

We come before Your throne of grace asking for Your gospel light to give sight to those in our own time who are lost and wandering in darkness!
