NUMBERS 15:
Yesterday in Numbers 14 we heard this very important and dramatic story: The people of Israel became unworthy to enter the Promised Land because of their stubborn unbelief. In the midst of that experience, Moses' prayers to God on behalf of the people are prime examples of how to plead with the Lord. The key revealed in that passage is to plead with God in accordance with his character and quoting his promises!

PSALM 35:
In today’s psalm, David prays for victory over his enemies. Opposition to David was sponsored by King Saul, who became David's enemy for no good reason— only because of envy.

LUKE 22b:
Yesterday in this chapter we heard of Judas betraying Jesus to the Jewish leaders, of the last supper, and of Jesus' last words to the disciples, including the prophecy that Peter would deny Him three times.

We have things to pray about today!
Our heavenly Father, I am stunned that we humans just stumble through life and have no idea what we’re doing, or of who You are. The people of Israel had seen so many powerful miracles, and yet they refused to believe You and refused to do what You told them— after all those things you did in Egypt and at Mount Sinai. And David who had been so blessed with victories and honors, could totally lose his way as well. And the disciples, right at the table where Jesus told them such beautiful truths, could start arguing among themselves as to which among them was the greatest. And then that evening, Peter would deny even knowing the Lord Jesus. Heavenly Father, given these facts, what’s the chance that I or my listener are going to be able to obey You, and know what to do in our challenges today? As David urges us in Psalm 34, we’ll have to “Find out” for ourselves how good You are, Lord! “Happy are those who find safety with” You! Please be patient with us as we try harder be your faithful servants.
