Psalms 106:21-23

Psalms 106:21-23. They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

You remember the intercession of Moses with the Lord, how he cried, "If thou wilt forgive their sin - ; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written." And, beloved friends, what should you and I have done if it had not been for the Mediator, far greater than Moses, who has stood in the breach very often when we have provoked the Lord, and who has so stood in the breach that he has borne the wrath of God which else must have destroyed us?
