Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Stand in the GapEzekiel 22:30
No. 341
"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."Ezekiel 22:30

God looked for an intercessor — just one — and found none. The gap-stander is the person who prays on behalf of others, who steps into the space between people and judgment, between need and provision, and prays. This is one of the most powerful things a human being can do.

Reflect

Who needs you to stand in the gap for them right now — someone who may not be praying for themselves?

Prayer

Lord, I stand in the gap for [name them]. I intercede on their behalf. Find someone when You look — find me. Amen.
