So the Lord changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people.
Exodus 32:14
This was the end of a interchange between Moses and God up on Mt. Sinai. At the base of the mountain, the people were building a gold calf and calling it, "Their god." God was filled with rage, and desired to destroy all the people, but He listened to Moses first. He accepted the intercession of Moses on behalf of Israel, and it changed everything. We should be thankful that God certainly will change His mind, but He never changes His purpose. We also should be thankful that God will accept intercession on our behalf when we can't do it ourselves. Our first intercessor was Jesus, and even now we can be thankful that people are interceding for us in prayer. We all need it. Let's be thankful that He listens and changes His course of action.
