Exodus 25-29

 


In the reading for today, God was telling Moses all about how he wanted the tabernacle to be built. It was amazing to me the amount of detail that he went into. For me, I feel like this was far more than just for posterity. I believe that God was showing us that when it came to how and where He would reside, we couldn't do things haphazardly but all things needed to be in order. It was just amazing to hear all of it.  

Then in chapters 28-29 he started to explain how the priest should be consecrated and all of the clothes that they should wear. It was interesting all of the things that they needed to do just so that they could enter God's presence. It makes me want to make sure that I don't take advantage of the fact that I don't have to do all that; I need to make sure that I still take the time to make sure that my heart is right and prepared for him.

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...
