15 The rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less when you make the offering to the LORD to atone for your lives. This just isn’t fair. Why should the poor have to pay just as much as the rich? Shouldn’t it be based onContinue reading “11Feb 2011 Exodus 30:15”

2Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron, to give him dignity and honor. Since the Fall, human beings have not had the dignity the Lord designed us to have. We are marred by sin. The garments that get made for Aaron, the first Jewish priest, were designed to evoke a sense of dignity and honorContinue reading “10Feb 2011 Exodus 28:2”

9 Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you. Sometimes we forget as we read all these details, that all of this pomp and ceremony is teaching us a lesson about our character and about His character. They are a giant object lesson that ultimately points to Jesus.Continue reading “9Feb 2011 Exodus 25:9”

2 “Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd, 3 and do not show favoritism to a poor person in a lawsuit. The court is not the place to correct past wrongs, or societal inequities. We must do whatContinue reading “8Feb 2011 Exodus 23:2-3”

21The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was. What a contrast to what happened in the Garden of Eden where God walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day. There was no fear. That is because there was no sin. As soon as sin enteredContinue reading “7Feb 2011 Exodus 20:21”

20 However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them. Some people never learn! The Israelites had just been delivered from Egypt and the Egyptians had suffered greatly for not obeying theContinue reading “6Feb 2011 Exodus 16:20”

16And it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead that the LORD brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand.” Some symbols are very powerful. The symbols I experienced growing up in church did not have much meaning. Because I did not have a relationship with theContinue reading “5Feb 2011 Exodus 13:16”

13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. In preparation for the first Passover the Israelites were to put some of the blood from their sacrifice (alsoContinue reading “4Feb 2011 Exodus 12:13”

13 Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said. It is amazing the damage done because of one hard heart. As you read this passage today, look at the progression of Pharaoh’s heart. Pharaoh refuses to keep his word and his heart becomes hard. EventuallyContinue reading “3Feb 2011 Exodus 7:13”

12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” Moses has no confidence in himself! This is a good spot for us to be. Our confidence needs to be in the Lord, and not in our own efforts or abilities. Moses just complained that he was not a goodContinue reading “2Feb 2011 Exodus 4:12”
