Like Moses

From www.spraypaintstencils.com

"Then Yahweh said to Moses, 'Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned from the way I commanded them and have made for themselves a molten calf; they have bowed down before it and sacrificed to it and said: "These are your gods, Israel, who brought you out of Egypt."'

"And Yahweh said to Moses, 'I see that these people are a stiff-necked people. Now just leave me that my anger may blaze against them. I will destroy them, but of you I will make a great nation.'

"But Moses calmed the anger of Yahweh, his God, and said, 'Why, O Yahweh, should your anger burst against your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with such great power and with a mighty hand? Let not the Egyptians say: "Yahweh brought them out with evil intent, for he wanted to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth." Turn away from the heat of your anger and do not bring disaster on your people. Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the promise you yourself swore: I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and all this land I spoke about I will give to them as an everlasting inheritance.'

"Yahweh then changed his mind and would not yet harm his people."

EXODUS 32:7-14

"Teach me, Lord,
to be like Moses in leadership and authority and love."
