THE PRAYER LIFE! # 8
"MOSES", OPERA BY MYROSLAV SKORYK
SCENE: Moses Prays To God To Lead Them Into The Promised Land
Moses was a devoted follower of the Lord. He communicated and prayed
with Him often while he was the leader
of the Israelites.
I am
sharing a few more scriptures
that discuss Moses' Prayer Life.
LIFE LESSON:
THE
PRAYERS OF MOSES
EXODUS
32:11, 13-14
11Then Moses pleaded with the Lord his God,
and said: “Lord, why does
Your wrath burn hot against Your people whom You have brought out of the land
of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac,
and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to
them, ‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven; and all this
land that I have spoken of I give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it
forever.’”
14 So
the Lord relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people.
DEUTERONOMY
3:29-30, 33-34
29 Now
it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the
Testimony were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that
Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.
30 So
when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his
face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
33 And
when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
34 But
whenever Moses went in before the Lord
to speak with Him, he would take the veil off until he came out; and he would
come out and speak to the children of Israel whatever he had been commanded.
DEUTERONOMY 4:22-24
22 But
I must die in this land, I must not cross over the Jordan; but you shall cross
over and possess that good land.
23 Take
heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for
yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you.
24 For
the Lord your God is a
consuming fire, a jealous God.
DEUTERONOMY 9:25-26
25 “Thus
I prostrated myself before the Lord;
forty days and forty nights I kept prostrating myself, because the Lord had said He would destroy you.
26 Therefore
I prayed to the Lord, and said: ‘O
Lord God, do not destroy Your
people and Your inheritance whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom
You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
DEUTERONOMY 34: 5-8
5 So Moses the
servant of the Lord died there in
the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.
6 And He buried
him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his
grave to this day.
7 Moses was
one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his
natural vigor diminished.
8 And the children
of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. So the days of
weeping and mourning for Moses ended.
PSALM 90: 1-4
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
4 For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.
HEBREWS
20:28
