Deuteronomy 9:20 And the Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I prayed for Aaron too.

Church leaders need prayer too! Most have not been as flagrant as to make an idol, but all have made mistakes. Even the ones who have made major errors, drawing many after them, are not beyond redemption if they will repent, so we need to pray for them. Often the person in the pew doesn’t grasp emotionally that their pastor faces the same temptations they do, and the pressures are often greater. That’s no excuse for sin, but it does point up the need for prayer support. I have seen leaders close to me fall, and in every case I’ve seen, there was a lack of transparency and accountability involved. When the leader is seen as unapproachable, pitfalls abound. When the leader is seen as above it all – especially by himself – disaster is just around the corner. All the English translations I checked say that Moses prayed for Aaron, but the Japanese specifies that he interceded for him. Intercession is “standing in the gap,” (Ezekiel 22:30) recognizing a need and seeking to meet that in prayer. God does anoint some people as intercessors with special gifts of perception and compassion, and they are marvelous gifts to the Body of Christ. However, every believer has the ability and the privilege of intercession, but many fail to recognize it. James 5:16 is very much to the point: “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” All of us are righteous by faith, if our repentance is up to date, and there is great blessing in seeing God meet a brother or sister’s need through your prayers.

I don’t have the specific calling of Intercessor, but I am still called to intercede. That’s not a contradiction. I don’t have special gifts in that area, but I am to pray for others however the Lord guides and gives opportunity. At the same time, I am very aware that I also need people to pray for me, just as Paul did. (Romans 15:31, Ephesians 6:20, Colossians 4:4) I am as human as anyone else, and just as liable to deceive myself. (James 1:22) I must never neglect praying for others, precisely because I know my own need. The power is not in us, it is in the One to whom we pray, and he delights to listen to and make good use of the prayers of His children.

Father, thank You indeed for the privilege of intercession, both of doing it and receiving it. May I not neglect it but exercise it more and more, for everyone whom You indicate. May I be willing to stand in the gap even when I know it invites attack on me, resting in the assurance that Your presence in me is greater than anything that can come against me. (1 John 4:4) Thank You. Praise God!

Deuteronomy 4:7 What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him?

This shows clearly the polytheistic mindset of virtually everyone in those days. I doubt that any of the Israelites thought of Yahweh as the only God, He was just the strongest, and most especially, He was their God. That was perhaps the biggest factor in their being so prone to getting into trouble with other gods, such as the Baal of Peor that Moses mentions here. Moses isn’t asking them to make the jump to full monotheism, he’s just trying to point out that none of the other gods they know about is as close and personal as Yahweh. We have trouble understanding this mindset today, in America at any rate. In the US, theism is assumed to be monotheism, when that was firmly entrenched even in Jewish thinking only much later than Moses. All of that said, it is still very relevant to us today that God is indeed near when we call on Him. Monotheism doesn’t do you much good if you only see God as some distant being who doesn’t care about you. One of the consistent, and amazing, themes of the Bible is exactly the fact that God does care, very deeply in fact. As John said, He is love, (1 John 4:8) and the opposite of love is indifference. When God is love, it follows that He cares more about us than we care about ourselves. Nothing else could explain the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That’s what John 3:16 is all about: He cares. Peter said it too: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7) When we really get that fact into our minds and hearts, both rebellion and worry should go out the window. We live in a fallen world, which means that we will have troubles in this life, but when we really understand the love of God, those troubles are no big deal. (John 16:33)

The whole matter of dealing with people where they are, polytheism and all, is extremely relevant to me in Japan, because the average Japanese has some very deep polytheistic tendencies. Most Japanese are dedicated to the gods at a Shinto shrine as infants, then have a “Christian” wedding and a Buddhist funeral, and they see no conflict to that. I wonder if I haven’t kept some people out of the family of God by my insisting on monotheism from the outset, rather than letting the Holy Spirit straighten that out after they open the door to Jesus. The Japanese themselves describe their nation as “the land of 8 million gods,” because Shinto is animistic, and almost any impressive natural feature is liable to be worshiped. Historically, that fed into worshiping not just the emperor but also other impressive human beings after their death, which dovetailed with Confucian ancestor worship, as practiced in Japanese Buddhism. That’s the spiritual mess I deal with all the time! Nowadays people generally go through religious motions without any real personal faith, which makes them suspicious of active Christianity in which Christ is our life. That is true even in church! I certainly can’t straighten it all out in my own strength or wisdom, either on a macro or a micro level, so I’ve got to depend on God. I too need to remember that He cares, that He’s not distant or indifferent, and make myself available to Him in obedient trust, for His glory.

Father, You really helped me lay the problem out clearly. Thank You. Knowing the problem, help me trust You for the answer, not trying to cook it up on my own but recognizing it as You show it to me, so that as many as possible of these Japanese whom You love may be brought into Your family, Your kingdom, for their salvation and Your glory. Thank You. Hallelujah!

Numbers 21:8-9 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

From our current perspective this is one of the more bizarre incidents in the whole Bible, right up there with the talking donkey. (Numbers 22:28) To modern theology it seems like pure superstition, yet Jesus explicitly said that it was a foreshadowing of His crucifixion. (John 3:14) The thing is, faith needs an object, and at the time, the people were so generally ignorant of God that He had Moses make them a physical object that they could relate to. In a sense it really was superstition, but they were unable to relate to God on a higher level at that point. Protestants tend to despise Catholics for all the physical objects – statues, medallions and the like – they use, but there is a difference between that and idolatry. Sometimes the line is very fine, and sometimes it is crossed, but physical objects don’t automatically equal the “graven images” of the 10 Commandments. That said, that line can indeed be crossed, and even the snake in this story made it across that line later in Israel’s history, so that King Hezekiah had to destroy it. (2 Kings 18:4) That shows the complicated nature of faith. Jesus said this prefigured His supreme act of salvation, yet it had to be destroyed because people were worshiping the thing rather than God Himself. Actually, this happens on many levels, and not just the physical. Denominations often fall into this trap, when people become more zealous for their organization than they are for Jesus Christ. The organization might have been as much God’s idea as the snake was, but it is just as temporary.

This issue is actually a major reason why I chose the non-denominational route for my ministry. I have seen so many walls thrown up within the Body of Christ over labels and terminology. However, my very non-denominationalism could become a stumbling block for me, if I let pride in it make me feel superior to my brothers and sisters in Christ. I am not to abandon the positions I feel God has shown me through His Word, but I am to share those gently, in love and respect, and not place the position ahead of Christ in my heart. I am not to despise traditions, but neither am I to cling to them once their purpose is gone. I am to remember that everything on this earth is temporal, temporary, and keep my heart fixed on the eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18)

Father, thank You for this reminder. Thank You for the day yesterday and for how encouraging it was. Help me remember all the time that I don’t know what’s really going on, so that I won’t let what I see tie me in knots. Help me indeed rest, relax, and rejoice in You, responding to You with gratitude and obedience at all times, so that Your will may be done in and through me for Your glory. Thank You. Praise God!

Exodus 33:13 “If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”

It just struck me that Moses had every reason to pray this prayer, because none of the Bible had been written at this point. It was Moses himself who wrote the first five books, during the 40 years of wandering in the desert after this. Being guided in that writing was a very real answer, and a magnificent one, to this very prayer. That said, this is the sort of prayer God delights to answer, because it is focused more on God than it is on the person praying. However, if we pray this exact prayer today, the first thing God will say is, “Well, have you read my Book?” God does reveal Himself individually to us today, but the first method He uses to do that is the Bible. We do need the help of the Holy Spirit to grasp it properly, but the words are there. God speaks to different people in different ways, and some do see visions and hear essentially direct speech. However, especially for such people, it is essential to be grounded in the Word, because there are definitely lying spirits out there that try to divert us from God’s way. (1 Kings 22:22-23) The devil himself is a consummate liar, and he even quotes the Bible! (Luke 4:9-11) When we are really familiar with the Word, lies about God become obvious. If we want to know more of God and His ways, desiring to be obedient to Him, the first thing we will do is seek to absorb His Word, not as abstract knowledge, but as something to put into practice. (James 1:22)

I have gone through periods of seeking God, periods of taking Him for granted, and periods of ignoring Him. Seeking Him is definitely best! Growing up in the home I did, particularly with reading through the Bible (RSV) before I was a teenager, I’ve always had knowledge about God, which is why I am very aware there is a huge difference between knowing about Him and knowing Him. My life in the 60 years since my baptism has been a process of getting to know Him. At this point, knowing Him fully is one of my greatest anticipations about heaven. (1 Corinthians 13:12) I have learned that everything He had people write about Him in the Bible is true, and can be counted on. I am still learning to trust Him more and obey Him better, which seems almost ironic considering how much practice He’s given me in that, but it just shows my human fallibility. I have been given the privilege of leading others to know Him better, and that is a high calling indeed. If I pretend to have it all together, I will benefit no one and potentially cause real harm. I am not to look down on anyone, but remember God’s grace toward me and extend it to others. God is the only one who cannot make mistakes! As He has told me, I am to rest, relax, and rejoice in Him. If I will do that, I will indeed lead others to do likewise.

Father, yesterday was a pretty rough day as I came face to face with the results of my own procrastination and lack of organization. Thank You for pointing out so strongly that I have no room to look down on others who lose out because of procrastination. Right now I have very little emotional margin because of all that has been going on. That just shows how much room I have to grow in resting, relaxing, and rejoicing in You. May I take my hands off of the wheel today and let You drive, so that all of Your purposes for me in this day may be fulfilled, on Your schedule and for Your glory. Thank You. Praise God!

Exodus 10:16-17 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you. Now forgive my sin once more and pray to the Lord your God to take this deadly plague away from me.”

Pharaoh is a very clear bad example, and we need to learn from him, not to imitate him. Pharaoh’s words were perfect here, which shows how deceitful the human heart can be. It also shows why John the Baptist and Jesus, not to mention numbers of prophets, all emphasized action to back up our words. Words can be vitally important, but if the heart is not in them they are empty indeed. That’s why there are so many “Christian” pagans running around: they said the prescribed words, but their heart was not really in it. Just this week, the pastor who spoke briefly at an interdenominational prayer meeting talked about how he was baptized as a boy but without real faith, leaving him a baptized pagan. It wasn’t until he attended a retreat in college that he surrendered himself to Christ and was born again. The Bible is filled with examples of one sort and another, both good and bad. Civilization advances, but the human heart remains the same, which is why all those examples are valid today. We need to learn to say the right words, yes, but follow through and do as we say, so that we won’t deceive ourselves. (James 1:22)

If someone came to me saying what Pharaoh did, I would in all probability take it as genuine repentance and would see no obstacle to baptizing them. However, I have baptized some people who were no more sincere than he was! Actually, at that moment even he probably thought he was sincere! We are not to place unnecessary obstacles in people’s way, but we are to leave the matter of salvation in God’s hands. I would rather baptize some who were not sincere than fail to baptize anyone who was, and so cause them to give up. This can be a real problem. I don’t want to make people think they are right with God when they are not, but I certainly don’t want to turn people away who are genuinely seeking Him. This may be what Jesus was talking about right after His resurrection, when He said, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” (John 20:23) That has always been a somewhat controversial passage, and actually a rather scary one. I want to err, if I am going to err, on the side of forgiveness, because I have at least some grasp of how much I need to be forgiven.

Father, help me see people with Your eyes, hear them with Your ears, and love them with Your love. May I not be deceived by words, my own or anyone else’s, but let Your Spirit guide me and them into Your truth, destroying the works of the devil and bringing Your kingdom, for Your glory. Thank You. Hallelujah!

Exodus 9:34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts.

How very human of them! We are all very prone to cry out to God in a crisis, but then forget about it all the moment the situation improves. I am reminded of how churches were full in America right after the World Trade Center attack, but then how quickly people again ignored God just weeks later. Right now America is at a turning point because of the presidential election, but people’s responses are all over the place. Many who claim Christ if asked are totally failing to seek God for direction and are placing their hopes in very flawed people. Franklin Graham, unsurprisingly, has stated the Biblical course, not trusting any political party but devoting himself to calling people to prayer. People whose hearts are broken over the spiritual condition of the nation are indeed waking up, but it remains to be seen what their numbers are, and as this verse indicates, whether they will stay awake once the election is over, particularly if the outcome seems good to them. America has indeed been “a shining city on a hill” for over 200 years, sending out more missionaries and doing more for general world welfare than any other nation, but it is in drastic need of repentance and revival. Words are important, but just words don’t cut it. As in Jesus’ brief parable, it wasn’t the son who said what his father wanted to hear who actually did his father’s will, but the one who repented of his rebellion. (Matthew 21:28-32) God desires that His children wake up indeed and stay awake, actively participating in society as His representatives, so that His Name may be recognized as holy (rather than used as profanity, as it is today) and His kingdom come.

I am certainly stirred up by what is going on in America today, but since I live in Japan, my participation is limited. I am to be praying for America, certainly, but I must not overlook what I am to be doing here in Japan. Frankly, the percentage of Christians is so low in Japan that part of me welcomes the distraction of what is going on in the US, to keep me from depressed with the situation here. I am to stay awake and alert in all areas (metaphorically of course; I do need sleep). I am to keep pressing in for more of God whether my circumstances seem easy or hard. I am to make Him my first priority on every level, so that His plans for me may be fulfilled, for His glory.

Father, thank You for this reminder. Keep me from saying good words and then failing to follow through. May I keep Jesus in focus at all times (Hebrews 12:2) so that everything else will stay in perspective, and I will walk in Your peace and joy, for Your glory. Thank You. Praise God!

Exodus 8:23 “‘I will make a distinction between my people and your people. This miraculous sign will occur tomorrow.'”

There were various reasons for the plagues of Egypt, but this was a very important one. It is to God’s glory that the world see a distinction between those who are committed to Him and those who are not. That’s not at all to say that those who are committed to Him will have no problems; quite the contrary. (John 16:33) However, there is a difference in how we experience those problems and their effect on us. Someone whose heart is fixed on Jesus is going to grow sweeter and stronger and spiritually larger through problems, while someone who is depending on other things is going to grow bitter and shriveled. God allows problems in our lives not to pick on us but to teach us to choose Him over everything else. The results may not be as externally obvious as the absence of flies when everywhere else is swarmed with them, as in today’s passage, but they will certainly be evident to anyone who is paying attention. An interesting factor is that those differences may be more obvious to an external observer than they are the person himself. We tend to focus on how far we still need to go, but others can easily see how far we’ve come, and that gives God glory.

This is certainly pointed for me this morning, because I have been dealing with emotional exhaustion bordering on depression. Lots of things have been happening, and continue to happen, that are completely out of my control, yet I would like to control them, and the emotional conflict wears me out. This is training in releasing things to God, just as I have been telling people to do for as long as I’ve been in ministry. Preachers need to listen to their own sermons! I cannot change these things myself, but I can actively yield them to God, lifting them up in prayer but not hanging onto them. Frankly, that’s much easier said than done. I could easily go through quite a litany of things that are weighing on me, but there’s not a one of them, or all of them put together, that God can’t carry if I will allow Him to. More than one person has asked me, “But how are you doing?” I wonder if such questions don’t cause me to focus on myself more, instead of on God who is the solution to everything. I need to remember that God’s grace is all I need, (2 Corinthians 12:9) and I can deal with any situation successfully through Him. (Philippians 4:13)

Father, thank You for this timely reminder. My life is a witness for Christ, just as Jesus said. (Acts 1:8) May I fulfill that commission indeed, not being anxious about the form it takes, but leaving that in Your hands. May I be and do what You desire and intend, today and each day, for Your glory. Thank You. Praise God!

Exodus 8:8 Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to the Lord.”

Two things are very interesting to me about this. The first is how Pharaoh was using the language Moses and Aaron had used with him in speaking of the Lord. As far as he was concerned, this was just another god, of which Egypt already had plenty. The second is how he commanded them to pray, rather than asking them. (This nuance is much clearer in the Japanese than in English.) Genuine prayer is not something you really can command. Pharaoh’s attitude betrayed just about the same level of understanding of prayer as the average person today! Someone without a relationship with their Creator is going to look on prayer from a superstitious viewpoint, much like a good luck charm. Accordingly, they expect no more from prayer than they would from a good luck charm. Modern science has dispelled a lot of superstition, but the impulse is still there in those who don’t know God personally. It’s pretty scary to feel there are spiritual rules out there but not really have any idea what they are. That’s why God has given us the Bible, but if we look at it only as a rule book, we miss a great deal. It is indeed a rule book, but its whole point is to draw us into relationship with the Author, to let Him write His rules in our hearts. (Jeremiah 31:33) When that happens, prayer is a joyful privilege, and not a duty to be commanded.

As I am often reminded, I was raised in a home where prayer was as natural as breathing, so I have had to learn what most people think and feel about prayer simply by observation. It has been hard to get it through my head that prayer doesn’t feel natural to a lot of people! I have a paper on the wall beside the computer where I do most of my sermon preparation, with an outline titled Preaching to Change Lives. (I got it from Mark Conner of Australia.) Toward the last of the outline it says, “’Teach them to do all I have commanded you,’ e.g. how to pray.” I’m not a very good teacher of prayer, because to me it doesn’t feel like something to be taught. I know I am continuing to learn about prayer, but at the same time I don’t know how to teach it! I need to seek the Lord as to how to pass on to others what He has poured into me, so that they too may discover the joy of natural prayer that wells up from the heart, in any and every situation.

Father, thank You for enabling me to express my dilemma. I have no real answer to it myself, so I ask You to guide me. I know that You want all Your children to talk with You freely, listening as well as talking, so I ask You to use me to guide them into doing so. I have certainly proved that I can’t do it on my own! May Your children across the world indeed rise up, to be and do all that You intend so that Your Name may be acknowledged as holy and Your kingdom come, for Your glory. Thank You. Hallelujah!

Genesis 32:28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome.”

This is a very famous story, but a very strange one to me. There is no way that a human being could actually fight with God and win, or even battle to a draw, but that is the way this is presented. I have to feel that God allowed Jacob to have this experience to teach him to persist for the blessing, to be willing to put his all into it. Jacob himself thought he was wrestling God, but the physical manifestation was in all probability an angel. Even so, there is no way a man could out-fight an angel. The name given to Jacob here is very fitting, because down through the ages since then his descendants have indeed struggled with God, not receiving His instructions with child-like simplicity but codifying and complicating and ultimately rejecting them. We do struggle with who God is, with what He is like, because we are indeed created in His image, (Genesis 1:27) but at the same time we are so very different from Him. As He pointed out to Isaiah, even His thoughts are far higher than ours. (Isaiah 55:9) However, in our struggles we learn more of ourselves, and yes, we learn more of God. As I quote with some frequency, my father had a saying that he used often: “Give all you know of yourself to all you know of Christ.” It is in our struggles that we learn more of both, and so our commitment to and fellowship with God deepens, for our great blessing and His glory.

I have had my times of running from God, or of taking Him for granted, or of misunderstanding Him, or even of actively rebelling against Him. I think all of those fit into this category of struggling with God. In the process I have learned that He is incredibly patient but not infinitely so, that He is totally faithful, and that He has a sense of humor. That last one is hard to explain, but I am convinced of it. After all, how could Someone without a sense of humor have created something as quirky as I am? I have learned that God wants close fellowship with me far more than I can grasp, much less desire with that intensity myself. I have learned that He can, wants to, and will use me as His agent to do His will in ways that I couldn’t imagine, if I will yield myself to Him in obedient trust. And I have learned the incredible joy of experiencing that when it happens. I am far from perfectly consistent in maintaining that depth of fellowship with my Lord, but I know that in Christ it is possible, and that has become my goal.

Father, thank You for everything. Thank You for the things that have felt good at the time and the things that were painful at the time. Thank You for carrying me through them all, because I didn’t have the strength to get through on my own. Thank You for the incredible privilege of speaking Your words, of extending Your hand, of loving with Your love. May I do that more and more, for the blessing of many and for Your glory. Thank You. Praise God!

Genesis 32:9-10 Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,’ I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two groups.”

In spite of his track record of being devious, it seems Jacob had really learned some things. Here he starts his prayer by acknowledging the grace of God, which by definition means that he was unworthy to receive it. We get much further with God when we realize how dependent on Him we really are! The success story of Jacob really is pretty remarkable, going from one walking stick to enough livestock to be able to send considerable quantities as gifts. I think this prayer itself gave Jacob the courage to send so much to Esau, because it reminded him that if God could take him from one stick to that much wealth, He could easily multiply however much Jacob had left. I think he had been fully liberated from a poverty mentality. Many people are trapped by such a mentality, unable to believe that God can multiply what they have and change their circumstances. It’s not that God wants everyone to be wealthy, as the world counts wealth, but that God has an abundant supply for His children. Seeking wealth for its own sake is certainly a trap, as the Bible says in many places. However, a poverty mentality is simply a different face on that same trap. Many poor people love money as much or more than most wealthy people! The whole point is to get our focus off of the material and onto the God who created us for His pleasure and our benefit, knowing that He will provide all we need. (Philippians 4:19)

Having just filed my US income taxes, I was actually surprised at how small the numbers were, because I feel abundantly blessed. As I have told many people over the years, the Lord has taught us that we don’t need money, we need what we would buy with the money, and He has supplied that in abundance. Some people assume that we have pretty good income from the way we live, but a lot of what we have has come to us with no cash involved. The point for me is not what we have so much as it is what God wants me to to do with what is in our hands. If I am doing His will, then I need have no anxiety about His supply. It’s not in the Bible as such, but the thought on the refrigerator magnet is certainly Biblical: “Where God guides, He provides.” As a pastor I frequently deal with people who are trapped in a poverty mentality, some of whom have more income than I do! I am not to look down on them, but rather speak the truth to them in love, seeking to turn their hearts to the Source, rather than to the material things that consume their attention. I need to teach them that stewardship begins with however much, or little, we have. It is only when we show ourselves faithful with a little that God releases much.

Father, I hesitate to preach on this sort of thing because of all the abuses of the “prosperity gospel.” I ask for wisdom and clear guidance so that I won’t encourage deception, but will also not fail to speak all of Your truth. May I be a good steward of Your truth, as well as of Your other blessings, so that Your purposes for every bit of it may be fulfilled, on Your schedule and for Your glory. Thank You. Praise God!
