Exodus 13:17-15:18
Matthew 21:23-46
Psalm 26:1-12
Proverbs 6:16-19
Exodus 13:19 – Joseph’s 400 year old bones. Remember the promise Joseph made his family make a few days ago? (Genesis 50:25-26).
Exodus 14:12 – Many people would rather live serving the devil than risk death to serve the Lord
Exodus 14:21 – Where did the Red Sea crossing occur? There are 5 major routes for the Exodus routing in one study Bible (and that isn’t even an exhaustive map), and many interesting arguments for many different sites and routes.
Many secularists attack the very idea of a Red Sea Crossing, and others attack the timing of the exodus (but thankfully conservatives defend a Biblical date for the Exodus of 1446 BC). Why is there so much confusion about the Exodus? The best explanation is that we’ve done very little research. Despite all of the Bible colleges in the world, there is not even one “Professor of Exodus Studies.” However there is some great promising work. ABR – Associates for Biblical Research is a great source – Amenhotep II and the Historicity of the Exodus Pharaoh, Recent Research on the Date and Setting of the Exodus, and many other articles.
Exodus 15:1 Have you praised the Lord when He has delivered you?
Matthew 21:31 Sadly today, publicans and harlots will go into the kingdom of God before many pastors and deacons. Being religious is not enough. Following Jesus is enough.
Psalm 26:1 The Psalmist is asking God to defend him because he walked in integrity. If your prayers aren’t being answered – check this Psalm to see if you meet the conditions of integrity. Additionally, Grace To You has collected 15 reasons for unanswered prayer.
Proverbs 6:16-19 The Seven Deadly Sins – add these to your list of things that God hates – check thru from time to time to see if you are living a life that God will bless, or that He will chastise.
