Day 36 - Read Exodus 12

May 29, 2024 • Exodus 12

Moses and Aaron recognized Passover as God commanded. God instructed them to sacrifice an animal and prepare it for the meal. The lamb’s blood was applied to the doorposts of the houses. All firstborn in the land of Egypt would be killed, except those who had the blood applied to their doorposts. Anyone who disobeyed these commands were cut off from Israel. God applied the final plague against Egypt and Pharaoh. Pharaoh sent the people of Israel away with their cattle and with the jewelry they plundered from the Egyptians. The sacrifice and release of Israel foreshadowed the sacrifice of Jesus, and freedom from the bondage of sin.

Day 94 - Read Deuteronomy 13-14

July 26, 2024 • Deuteronomy 13—14

Israel was warned that false prophets would attempt to lead them away from God to worship unknown gods. Anyone who attempted to draw the people of Israel from God were to be destroyed along with their possessions. God instructed His people on clean and unclean food. He instructed His people to tithe, taking the offering to the place of worship designated by God. They were to present their offering, eat according to God’s Law, and providing the required portion of the tithe to the Levites who served God’s place of worship.

Day 93 - Read Deuteronomy 11-12

July 25, 2024 • Deuteronomy 11—12

Moses charged Israel to obey God and remember the great things He did in Egypt and on their journey to the promised land. Moses described the promised land as a good land that would provide for the needs of Israel. He charged them to share the goodness of God with their children at all times and to teach them to hold fast to God’s Law, and they would be blessed. If they chose to turn from God, they would be cursed. Israel was instructed to seek the place to worship God once they possessed the land. They were to destroy the idols and altars built by their enemies for the worship of their gods. Israel was commanded to worship God alone, according to God’s instructions alone.

Day 92 - Read Deuteronomy 9-10

July 24, 2024 • Deuteronomy 9—10

God confirmed His promises to go before Israel and conquer their enemies. God warned Israel not to become prideful by thinking they were deserving or that they were possessing the land because of their righteousness. Moses reminded Israel of their consistent turning away from God and the grace and mercy shown by God toward them. Moses recalled the tablets with the Law written on them, and the new tablets God gave to replace those that were broken. Israel was commanded to love, fear, and obey God. His people were chosen by Him above all people, and they were to serve Him as their one and only God.
