“Moshe went back to Adonai and said, Please! These people have committed a terrible sin: they have made themselves a god out of gold. Now, if you will just forgive their sin! But if you won’t, then, I beg you, blot me out of Your book which You have written!”
Exodus 32:31-32 CJB
Ask yourself, is this your pastor, priest or rabbi’s heart for you and the other believers? Is he interceding for you, lifting you up in prayer? Here we see Moses going to bat for the people, not that Moses didn’t have his own faults, but a leader leads and sticks with the people right to the end!
“For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Messiah for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh.”
Romans 9:3 CJB
We also see Paul go to bat for his brethren. If the people we choose to follow in ministry try to live above us or use terms like I’m God’s anointed, making themselves holier than you, you should probably not follow them!
God looks at all of us equally and has no favorites! Be careful of people who place themselves above their congregations!
“For Adonai your God is God of gods and Lord of lords. the great, mighty and awesome God, who has no favorites and accepts no bribes.”
Deuteronomy 10:17 CJB
Today, know that we as believers are on a level playing field, so to speak! God looks at all of us equally!
Have a blessed day knowing God loves you!
Shabbat Shalom!
