+title: Stand in the breach

+    Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His
+    chosen one stood in the breach before Him, To turn away His wrath
+    from destroying them. `Ps 106:23 NASB`_
+
+I wonder, whether Moses was not chosen just because he was willing to
+stand in the breach for his nation, for others.
+
+Of course, the breach (Strong’s no. 06556 perets peh’-rets; dictionary
+shows how incredibly dynamic word it is—something about “breaking out”)
+is a great word for me (see `Ez 22:30`_) and something which really
+makes me closer to what I feel to be my personal vocation. However, what
+is interesting on this verse is that Moses actually exemplifies what
+does it mean to stand in the breach. It is not about hopeless crying to
+the God—“Please, do not kill!”, but much more hopeful position, where we
+can trust in the God’s promises for the life of others or for our own
+life. And just for future reference—a list of all verses in the Bible
+with 06556: Genesis 38:29, Judges 21:15, II Samuel 5:20, 6:8, I Kings
+11:27, I Chronicles 13:11, 14:11, Nehemiah 6:1, Job 16:14, 30:14, Psalms
+106:23, 144:14, Isaiah 30:13, 58:12, Ezekiel 13:5, 22:30, Amos 4:3,
+9:11.

+The pope John Paul II. died today. What his dying shown for me again was
+a tremendous power of `Strength in Weakness`_. His willingness to be
+powerless (while trying in vain to bless crowds with his “Urbi et orbi”
+blessing). And all the rest of his death and post-humous pompous
+celebrations were for me just sweet cherry on pie, but not the pie in
+itself.
