THURSDAY, JANUARY 30
Scripture: Numbers 16:8-10

What was Moses’ response when he was standing in front of the leaders of the whole nation? This is one man standing against the leaders of a nation. Do we see it? Do we get it? Do we realize what God wants to form in us? He wants to shape us into individuals who are willing to take on leaders of nations. In verses 8-10, Moses falls on his face. He gets an action plan from God, then stands up and declares it. He calls it exactly like it is. If there is one thing we know, God has an action plan for our country and for nations throughout the world. He has an ‘action plan’ to get a harvest of nations! Our job is to find out what that is and declare it in the Throne-Room. When the leadership of the state decides to legislate sin, we have a job to do. When judges and politicians declare sin that the Lord abhors as legal, we have a very real responsibility. Recently in California leaders have decreed by law the teaching and accepting of homosexuality to children in kindergarten and older. We have a clear responsibility to be on our faces in the Throne-Room to get action. If we do nothing, if we shrug our shoulders and passively refuse to confront the sin, we are not walking in the Word. If we accept the situation by inaction, we are not only ignoring, but compromising God’s redemption plan. God does have an action plan and once it’s revealed to us we must stand up and declare it. Are we willing to find God’s action plan? Moses did and he declared it! Our action plan will be totally different, as we live in a different society. There are completely different interactions between the church and politicians. Our action plan will be appropriate to what we face. What this tells us is that God has an action plan, and we stand in a better place before the Throne than Moses did! He found out what God’s action plan was and then started to pray it. That is what we need to do – “Lord, what is Your action plan? What is Your chosen redemptive path? Will you not do to those promoting death, what you did to Korah, Dathan and Abiram?”
