Psalm 106:21-23

21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, 

22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. 

23 Therefore he said he would destroy them had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them. 

Psalms 106:21-23

I haven't done any serious research into this but when I read it this morning it hit me that

1. I, like the Israelites of old, too easily forget my Savior, who has done great things on my behalf to secure my salvation and a place in His family forever.
2. The holy God, creator of the heavens and earth, to whom all respect and obedience and reverence and worship is due, has every right to destroy those who treat His salvation so lightly.
3. Jesus, His chosen one who is greater than Moses, stands in the breach before Him to turn away His wrath from destroying us.
