Sometimes We Just Have To Say "NO" To God

Don't worry, I haven't jumped off the theological deep end. Just commenting on a passage of scripture that opens up all kinds of questions: De 9:14 Let me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. And I will make you into a nation stronger and more numerous than they." Basically God, tells Moses that his praying is preventing God from destroying the Jewish people. That is a heavy thought! The ramifications are incredible. I wonder if Jesus has ever stood in the gap to keep me from getting smacked down? He ever lives to make intercession for us. It would probably be a good idea if we emulated Him a little more. I can't solve all the questions this text raises, or explain all the sides of God's personality, but I can glean this much from this passage: He has emotions, He gets ticked off, prayer works. God is always looking for a man/woman to stand in the gap, if you know what I mean. Lord, be merciful to us.  Blessings.
