Psalm 103
I love the way God is described in Psalm 103. I didn’t always have the best relationship with my dad, so this Psalm is a great reminder of who God is. I probably need to read this daily.

Sacrifices in Leviticus
We are making our way through the Bible; today is day 71. Reading Leviticus 2, 3, and 4, we learn that, in addition to the burnt offering from Leviticus 1, there are 4 other types of offerings, each with specific instructions. These offerings had to be repeated over and over. Reading about the Sin Offering…

Exodus 34
We lost an hour to daylight savings time, and it’s thrown my entire day out of whack. But reading Exodus 34 this morning, I really love what God says about his character. ‘6The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger…

Romans 13
This morning, I woke up thinking about an old friend I haven’t seen or talked to in years. I’m not sure why they crossed my mind, but then I read something in Exodus 30 that made me think of their name. I just felt the need to pray for them and their family. I hope…

Romans 10
I think we often complicate the Gospel. Romans 10:4 and 9-10 offer a beautiful, striking simplicity. Paul wrote to early Christians who were exhausted by trying to “earn” their way to God. He gave them a lifeline: Christ fulfills the Law. Because Jesus finished the work, God now makes us right with Him the moment…

Psalms 119, Part 2
We are reading Psalms 119:45-96 today. I love how the author mentions meditating on God’s commandments. They ponder, they reflect on God’s Holy Word. And verse 61 stuck out to me today. ‘Evil people try to drag me into sin, but I am firmly anchored to your instructions.’ Psalms 119:61 When I was younger, I…

Exodus 14 and 15
Sometimes our horses are out in the pasture, and we have to call them in. They will come racing towards us, and the roaring sound of their hooves on the hard ground is scary. That’s just 40 hooves. In Exodus 14, the people of Israel are pinned up, with the sea blocking their path and…

Romans 2
Yesterday, I almost wrote about Romans 1, but I felt a stronger need to write about leadership. I’m so glad I didn’t, I feel like reading Romans 1 without reading Romans 2 could be dangerous. Paul lists a bunch of sins in Romans 1:18-32. And if we stop there, it’s easy to judge others and…

Exodus 2 and 3
Today, let us remember that God can use our weaknesses and our past for His perfect plan. In today’s reading of Exodus 2 and 3, we learn about Moses. I liked thinking about how God saves Moses, and his mom gets paid to nurse her own baby boy. Even though Moses killed an Egyptian, he…

Genesis 45
Reading Genesis 45 this morning. Joseph reveals his true identity to his brothers. He broke down and cried as he told them. They were speechless, dumbfounded. Joseph had to tell them again; they were shocked. ‘4 “Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your…
