So I Also Prayed For...
“…so I also prayed for Aaron at the same time.” (Deuteronomy 9:20)
In the Exodus account of the golden calf, there is no mention of the above action. We see Moses, furious and commanding, storming down the mountain to rebuke Aaron and the rest of the nation for their wicked idolatry.
Exodus shows us anger, but Deuteronomy reminds us that though Moses was very angry with Aaron (and for good reason), he still loved him. You can pray for someone at the same time they have upset you. You can want the best for someone even as you are called to rebuke them. These two things can, and should, coexist in our hearts as they did in Moses’.
Our love should not wane in the dark times. Pray for those who have hurt you and those who have sinned against you. Prayer is one of God’s greatest conflict resolution tools.
