Ezekiel 22:30 "And I sought for a man among them, that should build up a wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none."
Observation:
God was talking about bringing judgement upon His people because of their going after other gods and prostituting themselves with other gods. He was preparing to destroy them and it says, he "sought a man among them, that should build up a wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land". God went looking for someone who was willing to stand between His judgment and the people, but couldn't find anyone.
Application:
We call this standing in the gap, or intercession. It is standing between God and His judgment for sin. In America, we have walked away from God and are serving the gods of pleasure and good feelings. We need men and women who will stand before the Lord on our behalf to pray for our country. May He not only find one, but multitudes standing in the gap and praying for our nation that is going downhill quickly.
Prayer:
Father, this morning I stand in the gap for the US. Forgive us for our sin and transgression. Forgive us for the murder of unborn babies. Forgive us for our lack of prayer and love for God. Forgive us for being lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. Come and revive this nation.
Your Son,
Jeff
