Moses’ Prayer                                           February 22, 2010

^Exodus:32:31-35           31. So Moses went back to the LORD and said, "Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. ³² But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written."

 ³³ The LORD replied to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. ³⁴ Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin."

 ³⁵ And the LORD struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.

The scripture that we reflected on was about how Moses went to the Lord and asked forgiveness for those who were worshipping the golden calf.

At the present time being so busy as we are we tend to forget how important it is to go to church and worship the Lord. We work hard all week at our jobs. We think that the weekend is ours. It is the only days that we can sleep in, the only days we have to ourselves. No one is going to tell us what we should do with our weekend off. After all. We earned it. What we should be doing is spending a little more time reflecting on our faith and less time on TV or whatever is distracting us in our daily lives. Making sure that we thank the Lord for all that he has given us.

Our prayer for the community:

Oh Lord, open our hearts and eyes to see the needs and help others. Make us more aware of your blessings, helping to keep us on the path to heaven. Amen.
