Ex. 19-20 God revealed Himself to His people – He gave them a glimpse of His power and might and showed them a glimpse of His character in the 10 commandments (His Law). Moses said ...

Day 41 – Ex 9-11; Matt 25:31-46Day 41 – Ex 9-11; Matt 25:31-46
Ex. 9-11 I noticed an interesting thing in chapter 9 that I had never noticed before. After the sixth plague – the boils – is the first time the text specifies that the LORD hardened ...
Day 38 Ex 1-3; Matt 24:1-28Day 38 Ex 1-3; Matt 24:1-28
Ex. 1-3 One thing that stands out to me in these chapters is the courage of the Hebrew midwives. Technically, they lied to Pharaoh, but it says that “God dealt well” with them because of ...
Day 36 – Gen 46-48; Matt. 23:1-22Day 36 – Gen 46-48; Matt. 23:1-22
Gen. 46-48 Once again, the writers of the Bible do not always state things as they actually are (cultural semantics, perhaps?). Reading the story of Joseph and his brothers, you get the impression that Benjamin ...
Day 26 – Gen 23-24; Matt 17Day 26 – Gen 23-24; Matt 17
Gen 23-24 It strikes me how respected Abraham was with the people whom he lived among as a foreigner. They called him “a mighty prince”, or “a prince of God” and were willing to give ...
Day 23 – Job 36-37; Matt 15:1-20Day 23 – Job 36-37; Matt 15:1-20
Job 36-37 The problem I have with the views of Job’s friends is that they are judging people based on their circumstances. If bad things are happening to you, you are being judged by God, ...
Day 17 – Job 22-24; Matt 12:1-23Day 17 – Job 22-24; Matt 12:1-23
Job 22-24 Well, now Eliphaz is just making stuff up!! He lays out accusations to Job that couldn’t be further from the truth! Note to self: the act of making stuff up to fit your ...
Day 12 – Job 8-10; Matt 9:1-17Day 12 – Job 8-10; Matt 9:1-17
Job 8-10 Bildad is making some hard assumptions about how God works – He will do this and He won’t do that – but who are we to assume we know the ways of God? ...
Day 9 – Job 1-2; Matt 7Day 9 – Job 1-2; Matt 7
Job 1-2 Evidently, we are moving through the Bible chronologically, because we have jumped to Job (which they believe was written sometime during this period in Genesis). And yeah, wow – in one single hour, ...
Day 7 – Gen 18-19; Matt 6:1-18Day 7 – Gen 18-19; Matt 6:1-18
Gen. 18-19 So much to note here! First, Abraham and Sarah waited an additional 13 years (at least 23 now) before Sarah became pregnant – patience!!! Another thing about God – He loves to wait ...
Day 6 – Gen 16-17; Matt 5:27-48Day 6 – Gen 16-17; Matt 5:27-48
Gen. 16-17 Ten years Abram and Sarai waited for God to fulfill His promise of a son to them. Ten years…and they grew impatient – or perhaps just anxious and confused. Either way, they began ...
