38 So the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels. This would be a wonderful way to know God’s will. When we see the visible sign of His Presence move, we move. WhenContinue reading “15Feb 2011 Exodus 40:38”

20 Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses’ presence, 21 and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. Willing and moved in the heart. Oh that weContinue reading “14Feb 2011 Exodus 35:20-21”

…. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.” Anyone who has grown up in a household with someone who drinks heavily can tell you, there are negative consequences that get passed down through the generations.Continue reading “13Feb 2011 Exodus 34:7b”

33 The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book.

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”
