Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Stand In The Gap

August 21st, 2023

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is to stand in the gap for someone who needs Jesus.

In the days of Ezekiel, his nation was on the verge of Divine judgment. They were in a moral crisis. Ezekiel 22:29 records the land practicing extortion and committing robbery. They oppressed the poor and needy and mistreated foreigners, denying them justice.

The LORD says, “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.”

Thankfully, in the Gospel, Jesus has come to our defense. We are protected by grace. His followers today have the opportunity to stand in the gap for those who are vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy.

We can do that through prayer. We can also do that by being a light for the person in spiritual darkness, by being a godly example and sharing God’s love with them.

Standing in the Gap for someone is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.
