Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.
Located behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Obelisk is known as Cleopatra’s Needle, and is one of two needles that flanked the Egyptian temple in Heliopolis (referred to Biblically as On), the center for Egyptian sun worship. What is really interesting is that Moses probably saw The Obelisk on a regular basis, because historians think he received his Egyptian education in Heliopolis, and The Obelisk was there before he was born. Thus, although many of the hieroglyphics have been weathered down over the course of time, we are potentially looking at a picture of something that Moses saw as a teenager / young man.
- Hebrews 11:24-26 says that when Moses was come of age, he valued the reproach of Christ as greater riches than all of Egypt’s treasures. Today only scattered fragments of Heliopolis’ grandeur can be found in the desert sands around Cairo. Moses made the right choice. Pray for Christian teenagers touring the Metropolitan Museum of Art this spring to make that same right choice.
- Jesus said that if someone would not believe Moses’ writings, they would not believe Him. As an application of that statement, pray for a person struggling with what Moses wrote in Genesis 1-11 to accept its veracity by faith, thus paving the way to accept the Redeemer’s New Testament message of salvation.
- Pray for Christian leaders in New York City to continue growing in their personal knowledge of and walk with God, just as Moses’ maturity and understanding of God continued to grow throughout his life.
