      1. Psalm 10:4-5

      2. Isaiah 55:9

   4. God is looking for someone to stand in the gap

      1. We all shake our heads

      2. We all say Somebody ought to do something

      3. God is giving you and me the opportunity to stand in the gap

   5. Hedge / Gap

      1. Hedge = is a growth of hedges to form a wall

      2. Gap = a break or open place in the hedge

      3. Adam Clarke - I sought for a man - I saw that there was a grievous breach made in the moral state and feeling of the people, and I sought for a man that would stand in the gap; that would faithfully exhort, reprove and counsel with all long-suffering and doctrine. But none was to be found!

      4. Psalm 106:23 – Moses did this to save Israel
