Today's Bible Reading...

Exodus 34:1 - 35:9 - vs 20 Redeeming a donkey requires a lamb... I have found, often, that the Church, in Scripture, is typed as a donkey. I find it interesting here that a lamb is prescribed for redemption of a donkey. In the same way we are only redeemed via the sacrifice of the only Holy Lamb of God Jesus Christ.

vs 24 - I love the fact that God will be watching their land as they go to worship Him. The same is true for us as we follow Him, Worshiping, doing His Will He will be our rear-reward. In other words He will watch our back. We can walk in Faith simply following taking no thought as to consequence for our earthly possessions or physical well being because He's got our back. Thank you Lord for protecting as you lead!

Matthew 27:15-31 - vs 18 - He knew that for envy they had delivered Him... The religious were envious of Jesus, envious of the way He knew the Father, the way He talked walked and knew the Father. In the same way we must guard against envy in our own lives. Envy of some perceived aspect of religious life our friends may have. For the very people we are envious of are the very people God often uses in our own lives to bring us to Him...

Psalm 33:12-22 -
