The journey to read through the bible in one year. One thought and one verse from every book and chapter of the bible…
Exodus 25
Exodus 25:1-2 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts them to give.
We know from scripture that the tithe (10percent) goes to God. But after that we choose to give or not give out of what we feel in our heart. So the the question for me is, do I live a life of generosity where I am willing to give above and beyond, or do I settle for just giving what is expected. I want to live a life that models being willing to give anything and everything at any point and time no matter what the reasoning might be. And that includes that areas of giving especially as it pertains to finance...
Exodus 26
Exodus 26:30 “Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.
A lot of times I hear people complain about how boring or mundane these chapters are as it describes in detail every little thing that is supposed to go into the Tabernacle (which was the house of God). But I love it! I love that we get to see how detailed our God is. How much He cares about what things look like and what it was supposed to be made out of. To me it shows that He isnt just in the big things, but He is in the little as well. He wanted to show us who He is in fine detail!
Exodus 27
Exodus 27:18 The courtyard shall be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, with curtains of finely twisted linen five cubits high, and with bronze bases
That is only about 150 feet long by 75 feet wide. Big for sure, but not huge! It made me think though of how much work went into the curtains. That would have taken forever! God wants and demands our best when it comes to following Him. Even in the building of the Tabernacle, He would not allow them to just skate through...or kind of get by, but made sure that they had to put some time and effort into it. The same is STILL true today. He demands and asks for it all. And we cant afford to give anything less...
Matthew 21
Matthew 21:10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
I love that when Jesus shows up in a real way, you cant HELP but talk about Him! As Jesus made His was into Jerusalem during the Triumphal Entry, He was what everyone was talking about. It was such a crazy phenomena...such a crazy sight that they HAD to talk about Him...argue about who He was and the things that He was about! When He shows up, He stops the whole show, and leaves everyone talking and saying..."who is this?"...
So far to date...
