Mar13th I will be on the road today and will try to add more later tonight. When you read about the red heifer please look at the "why" of this special sacrifice; it is a purification for sin for touching a dead body. How do you see God in this requirement? As you watch Moses being overtaken in a fault because of the acts of the children read verse 20:10 and see his sin. Do you see his mistake,error,sin? GOD will not share His glory with any man. How does the response from GOD in verse 12 to Moses affect your concept of GOD? The future for the children of Israel is wars and wandering, dying and death for 37 more years and God will always be overwatching and providing food, clothing and protection. How does this affect your concept of GOD?
Luke 1:1-25 will make a declaration of those things that have been delivered so that we might know with certainty those things we have been taught. We will see in the days to come that Jesus will be known as The Son of Man. What a grand start to this history lesson by beginning with Zacharias, Elisabeth and the angel Gabriel and the prophecy of the birth of their son John. John is a name that means "The Lord is gracious" and we will see that in him as he meets and bows before the Lord Jesus. We should continue to shape our concept of God as we read the book of Luke and look for His names, titles, traits and attributes. Read to know Him.
Psalm 56 should give us much confidence because we can say with the writer "GOD is for me." Accept the facts and promises of verses 10-13. Selah.
Proverbs 11:8 makes me to want to shout! Jehovah Sabaoth. Thanks be to God my Deliverer. PS; Is He yours? He wants to be. pj
