EXODUS 34-35:
Yesterday, we read about how God's meeting with
Moses was interrupted because of the people making the golden calf.
(Don’t ya’ hate interruptions!) Aaron caved in to the people's
desires. Moses interceded for the people, and God agreed not to
destroy them. God eventually agreed to go with the people to the
promised land. As we closed chapter 33, Moses had asked to actually
see God. God will hide Moses in a cleft in a rock, and allow Moses
to see his back.
PSALM 6:
This
Psalm is a prayer of an wronged and oppressed man crying out to God
for help and rescue. God has revealed more to us than was revealed
to David. We now know that people can praise God after
death.
LUKE 6:
Yesterday in chapter 5, Jesus called several of
his disciples after the miracle of the large catch of fish, healed
two men, and answered a question about fasting.

of them to be [his/0] apostles. Here are their

blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock

[Me,/0] the Son of
Man.
