Make our efforts successful!

Do not rebel against the lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!”

“I will pardon them as you have requested.

Then you will discover what it is like to have me for an enemy.’ 35I, the lord, have spoken!

The lord will abandon you because you have abandoned the lord.”

Let us, your servants, see you work again;
let our children see your glory.
17And may the Lord our God show us his approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful!

To do the Lords will with passion

Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp.

But day or night, when the cloud lifted, the people broke camp and moved on.

“Arise, O lord, and let your enemies be scattered! Let them flee before you!” 36And when the Ark was set down, he would say, “Return, O lord, to the countless thousands of Israel!”

Lord God, May I be obedient to you, May I do what I know you wish me to do and not resist your directions in my life. May I rise when you say rise and sleep when you say sleep and care for your kingdom as you wish.

In Jesus name,
Amen

It is not for me to question Him.

Anyone other than a priest or Levite who went too near the sanctuary was to be put to death.

The Kohathites must never enter the sanctuary to look at the sacred objects for even a moment, or they will die.”

Lord God my father,
Place on my heart a desire to follow you without compromise, Lord take my desire to modify your desire for me and change me to not question your direction for me. Remove my desire to be in control and help me to blindly follow you.
In Jesus name,
Amen

To release His Glory.

You will have such a surplus of crops that you will need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new harvest! 11I will live among you, and I will not despise you. 12I will walk among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people.

Lord God,
May I submit to your authority over me and be obedient to you. Lord God, remove my sinful nature to resist your desire for me and follow you blindly to release your Glory in all you have given me to care for.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Am I a willing servant

They kept the man in custody until the lord’s will in the matter should become clear to them.

They are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the lord your God.

Lord God,
Help me to hear you, Help me to be quiet and to listen for your guidance. I belong to you and submit to follow your desire. Give me power over my sinful nature and protect me for my desires of this world and reveal your glory in all you have given me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Righteousness

Confront people directly so you will not be held guilty for their sin.

Lord God,
Bless me and give me courage to live in your truth and stand firm in this fallen world. Allow me to correct with Love any one who falls from your truth. And Lord, hold me accountable for my weakness and may I with your power over come any struggle.

In Jesus name,
Amen

A slave to my way.

There, too, the whole community of Israel complained about Moses and Aaron.

‘Present yourselves before the lord, for he has heard your complaining.’”

But some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. But by then it was full of maggots and had a terrible smell. Moses was very angry with them.

If you obey my decrees and my regulations, you will find life through them. I am the lord.

Lord God, you made it simple, I make it hard. Lord God, direct my way and give me power over my sinful ways and give me strength to resist this world and only follow you. You give me power over my sin nature, now protect me from the ways that distract me from living a life which is pleasing to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Live for His Glory

and the glory of the lord appeared to the whole community. 24Fire blazed forth from the lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground.

Lord God,
May I please you by living obedient to you today. Remove the distractions and allow me to live by your desire today and release your glory to all I come in contact with this day.

In Jesus name,
Amen
