The Journey Through the Desert
Exodus 13:17 17 When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land. God said, “If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” I can look

Get Back Up!
Exodus 34:1 “The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.” Have you ever been hit so hard that it knocked the wind out of you? I remember one time in middle school football when I got

Be Still and Know
Exodus 14:13-14 “13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” I remember one summer in college, I found a website that sold NBA jerseys on sale. So I

Is the Cloud Still There?
Exodus 40: 36-38 “In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the

Not So Fast!
Exodus 38: 24-31 I remember when one of my daughters got her first paycheck. She was excited and mad at the same time. Excited for the new money she made but mad because they withheld some of the money she made for social security and taxes. Not understanding what those things are, I can see

More Than Enough
Exodus 36:7 “because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.” This never happens but it would be funny if you were watching the Pioneer Women cook something that sounded good and your mouth was already salivating over the thought of tasting it and suddenly she pauses, looks around frantically,

Whom Will You Send With Me?
Exodus 33: 12-14 “Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue

As for This Fellow Moses…
Exodus 32:1 “Come make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.” In the book “The Lord of the Flies” a group of boys find themselves on an island stranded away from their families and the

The Law
Exodus 25-31 Wow what a detailed set of plans. Reading this reminds me of purchasing something from IKEA. As you walk through the maze, that is IKEA, all the good looking furniture pieces, lamps, and accessories take your eye as you plan out your purchases and how it will look in your house. You take

A Heart Prompted to Give
Exodus 25:2 “You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts them to give.” I am reminded of a tale of a father and son. The son wants to work for the father so the father gives him a task of digging a large hole in ground. The son quickly gets
