Look At Where You Are Standing

Reference: Numbers 16:48 He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague stopped.

OBSERVATION: This is such an incredible image of intercession. Here the plague is wiping out the whole nation. Moses, in spite of the fact that God tells them to leave the nation to its fate, tells Aaron to burn the incense to stop the progress of the disease. Just like us, Aaron stands between the living and the dead, he worships and intercedes (by burning incense) and, by doing so, stops the plague in its tracks.

This is our job. We are to stand between the living and the dead (those who know Jesus and those who don’t), intercede and worship, and, in doing so, be a part of stopping the destruction that is ruining lives and destroying people that we love, even members of your won family.

Application/Confession: The first question I have to ask myself is; How much do I really care about the lives that are lost in darkness all around me? How willing am I to stand and intercede on their behalf? How often do I turn a blind eye even though I am standing right in the thick of it; right between the living and the dead? I need to care more. I need to pray more.

PRAYER: I am Your priest, Lord. I am standing before You between those who are spiritually alive and those who are spiritually dead. There is a plague devastating our world. Give me a heart to intercede to stop this plague and see my world saved for You.
