Exodus 19-24

In my reading today, I read about the Commandments and the Covenant. It was interesting to read about the difference between not Lying and not Bearing a false witness. To me when I was younger I always just thought about them as the same. When you think about it though they are not the same. I think that God was just to cover all the bases that he doesn't like lying. Whether it is a little white lie that may seem harmless or you are lying to a judge or on your neighbor, cheating on a test, making claims about your ability that aren't true, he wants the truth. I know this is hard for me. Sometimes the little white lie seems harmless enough but even though on earth it may not seem like much, we are doing damage and hurt to God.

    The rest of the reading was interesting. To hear not just about the 10 commandments but how he goes into much more of the laws of the land. Sometimes it feels like God doesn't care about the small things but when you read how he was laying down so many small laws you can tell he wanted his people to live good lives and was even giving ways for them to make restitution when they made mistakes.


    I am also jealous of Moses. to be able to spend 40 days in God's presence must have been wonderful. 

Today was a good read. Kowing that I am going to write a post afterward makes me pay more attention so I will have something to write. Till tomorrow.

Second Half of Exodus

 I am going to be starting to read the second half of Exodus and In the bible study that I have, they usually go over what you are about to read before you read it. I am excited to read this because it is interesting to me that this group of people just watch God perform Miracles that got them freed from slavery and are still complaining. Even crazier, when they can see God's presence right up the mountain they still get frustrated that it's taking too long and create an Idol. This should be an interesting read over the next few days.

Exodus 36 - 40

  In these last few chapters of Exodus, you see the Israelites finishing building the Tabernacle. The people are bringing them so many supplies that Moses they have enough to finish and for them to stop. For me, it just shows that when God is behind what you are doing and has given you the instruction he will give you more than enough. He may be giving you resources or may be giving you the Grace to handle the situation. Just like how God hardened Pharaoh's heart he can soften yours to handle more. Regardless of what it is when God has given the call, he will provide for it.  In chapter 40 of Exodus, they talk about Moses and Aaron fulfilling the instruction that they were given. It was interesting to read that many times they wrote: "Just as the Lord Commanded". At times we get the word from God and kind of do what God asked us to do. Then when what he promised doesn't come we get confused. It's not enough just to hear to word and accept it, we need to do just as...

2 Kings 4-5

2 Kings 5 9-19 9So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and waited at the door of Elisha’s house. 10But Elisha sent a messenger out to him with this message: “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River. Then your skin will be restored, and you will be healed of your leprosy.” 11But Naaman became angry and stalked away. “I thought he would certainly come out to meet me!” he said. “I expected him to wave his hand over the leprosy and call on the name of the Lord his God and heal me! 12Aren’t the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better than any of the rivers of Israel? Why shouldn’t I wash in them and be healed?” So Naaman turned and went away in a rage. 13But his officers tried to reason with him and said, “Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, ‘Go and wash and be cured!’” 14So Naaman went down to the Jordan River and dipped himself seven tim...
