I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people. 1 THIMOTHY 2:1, NIV
A few years ago I was in Washington filming a video, and part of our plan was to take a whale-watching trip to see orcas, also known as killer whales. Humans have tried for years to train them to do trick in parks, but unfortunately every once in a while when you put orcas and humans in such close contact with each other, bad things can happen. For our tour, there would be no close contact. As a matter of fact, it was one of the rules. We took a small boat that could carry about eight to ten people from a small village on the coast of Puget Sound. We chugged along for almost forty-five minutes to the place where pods of orcas usually swam that time of year. Sure enough, after a short while we found two distinct pods swimming along. We stopped the boat, and from about fifty to one hundred feet or so we were able to see the orcas swimming along with their pods. We saw several little ones that seemed very playful, breaching and slapping the water with their tails.
Then something unexpected happened.
As we stood on the back part of the boat looking out over the water, from behind the boat we suddenly saw a dark shadow approaching us in the water. We could clearly see that an orca was coming toward us. We were standing right at the edge of the boat railing when this massive creature passed right next to us, probably six to eight feet away from us!
Pods consist of a very tight and loyal community of whales. Animals were not created with the capacity to pray for each, but humans were. We can practice being unselfish by making it a habit to pray on behalf of others in our “pod” –that is what intercessory prayer is.
Think of someone near you who could use your prayers, and ask God to be near them today!
