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.

NLT Translation notes:
13 At daybreak he called together all of his disciples and chose twelve of them to be [his/0] apostles. Here are their names:
16 Judas (son of James), Judas [(from the village of Karioth//0] (who later betrayed him).
22 What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow [Me,/0] the Son of Man.
