i honestly don't think i can do a daily blog... esp considering that i'm perpetually behind. however, i'd like to just joint down a few general comments on the first week of reading (in no particular order)
1. i really think there was a purpose to the progression of the plagues, but i have no idea what it is. maybe level of severity? maybe most encompassing/ public to most personal? any thoughts?
2. God chose Moses, not the other way around. Moses didn't go volunteering to serve God, nor did he even want to do it when asked. God uses the most unlikely people to do great things for His purpose. kind of encouraging for us plain folk :)i esp loved this part: exodus 14:14 "the Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still". God does His part and we do ours. sometimes i think we're trying to do it all and then get frustrated when things don't turn out the way we want them to.
3. joseph was 30 when he entered into the Pharoah's work. 30!!
4. did you notice a significant drop in years lived after the flood? it went from like 900 years to 120 years or something like that. not sure if i want to live 900 years. esp w/ the world's going ons these days! sheesh!!!
5. exodus 23:19 the idea of bringing the best of your firstfruits. it reminds me of proverbs 3:9 and 10. "honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,and your vats will brim over with new wine."
6. exodus 26 talks about the tabernacle and the specs for the building of it. there's a place in PA that built one. i think it would be cool to see it, no?
