Good Morning “Witnesses of Gods Grace.”  Today we are in Exodus 33In chapter 32 we read that while Moses was on the mountain with God, the Nation grew impatient.  They wanted an idol to follow in Gods place.  They worshipped the Lord with a twisted form of blended pagan worship which not only included a sacrifice but then large group debauchery.  It was sin worthy of death.  We read how God instru...  Read More

Good Morning “Standing Strong”.  Today we are in Exodus 32.Understand that all we have been reading about: the construction of the Tabernacle, its furniture and the sacrificial process - is part of Gods instruction to Moses on Mount Sinai.  While Moses was on the mountain, the nation of Israel was down below waiting.  40 days Moses was on the mountain receiving not just the Law, but all the instru...  Read More

Good Morning “Called and Equipped.”  Today we are in Exodus 31.In today’s chapter we get an amazing example of God “equipping the called.”  Remember God doesn’t “call the equipped,” He “equips the called”.  Perhaps as you’ve been reading about the construction of the Tabernacle and all of its intricacies, you’ve wondered how will they go about making such things.  Laying gold over wood… that would...  Read More

Good Morning “Worshipers.”  Today we are in Exodus 30.  As we finish the description of the Tabernacle, its elements and the worship process we’re reminded it all pictures Christ and our relationship with Him Heb 10:1. The Alter of Incense was placed just outside the Holy of Holies.  As the High Priest burnt incense, the smoke would carry through the curtains.  It’s representative of his work to c...  Read More

Good Morning “Members of a Royal Priesthood.”  Today we are in Exodus 29.The next two chapters cover the process / ordinances that must be followed to consecrate Aaron and his sons as priests, able to serve in the Tabernacle.  First a ceremonial cleaning, then dressing in the priestly garments made specifically and perfectly, then sacrificial offerings.We might be tempted to try to draw comparison...  Read More

Good Morning “Reverent in the Presence of The Lord.”  Today we are in Exodus 28.As we read the very detailed instructions for how the Priests, and High Priest’s garments were to be made, and worn - it should cause us to reflect on the reverence by which we come to The Lord.  For us, under The Blood of Jesus, we are able to approach God directly.  Jesus Blood makes us Holy.  Our acceptance of His p...  Read More

Good Morning “Living Sacrifices.”  Today we are in Exodus 27.As we read about the construction of the Altar, and The Courtyard, take note of all of the gold and fine cloth symbolizing the Royalty of our Lord.  The Bronze symbolizes strength.  As with the Tabernacle, they are to pay attention to every detail.  This is our God! Orderly, specific, everything intentional.  He is NOT a God of disorder,...  Read More

Good Morning “Your Bodies as a Sacrifice.”  Today we are in Exodus 26.  If you find yourself reading Exodus 26 and wondering what it has to do with you… the answer is everything.  The Tabernacle will be the place the people come to deal with their sin, provide sacrifice and get right with God.  It’s  a picture of Something so much greater!  Here God gives very detailed instructions as to how the T...  Read More

Good Morning “One Way Receivers.”  Today we are in Exodus 25.  Imagine living as the nation of Israel.  Trembling in fear, you have now received the Law and with it the Covenant.  You’ve also agreed to it.  Meaning this… should you break any of the law, you die.  Oh you are going to sin… so God provides a place and a system that when you do sin, you can make atonement for your sin.  In this way yo...  Read More

Good Morning “Obeyers of The Law.”  Today we are in Exodus 24.Here we see another picture of what is to come.  God meets with Moses on Mt Sinai.  The mountain is a picture of God in Heaven.  Moses is a picture of Jesus who had to come down from Heaven, and then ascended back to Heaven and became our mediator.  In this way Moses represents Jesus as he moves pack and forth from the Mountain with God...  Read More

Good Morning “In The Care of Our God.”  Today we are in Exodus 23.As we read this chapter and consider these ordinances, we see that some are a reiteration of the Ten Commandments with further requirement or explanation.  God is intent on all people governing in a just manner without prejudice.  Our world seems easily swayed by popular opinion, without regard for Truth.  Never confuse the will of ...  Read More

Good Morning “Having Civil Rights.”  Exodus 22 continues with Law / Ordinances.The first section of this chapter deals with Law regarding property.  Steal someone’s property and you pay back double.  Think of it like you’re giving back what you took, then as a deterrent you are to give the same amount in restitution.   If a thief breaks into your house at night, there is no penalty for killing the...  Read More
