Friday, July 22, 2011 Read: Exodus 40, Deuteronomy 34 You have finally come to the end of God’s detailed instructions for Tabernacle construction! And you have made it to the end of RevoDevos. Well done. At the end of Exodus 39 a very touching passage is shared: “The Israelites had done all the work just [...]

Thursday, July 21, 2011 Read: Exodus 36-39 We are coming to the end of Exodus and have encountered very specific instructions from the Lord. Exodus 36 begins with the most skilled workers agreeing to construct the sanctuary (v.1). Admitting that these workers are skilled at their craft is important to note. God has equipped them [...]

Wednesday, July 20, 2011 Read: Exodus 33-35 In Exodus 33 we see God’s prescription for healing a broken, burned-out, frustrated Revolutionary. Remember, in chapter 32 Moses ordered that three thousand of his people be wiped out. How does God heal Moses of his pain? Through intimacy. In verse seven we read this: “Now Moses used [...]

Tuesday, July 19, 2011 Read: Exodus 31-32 Things just got really ugly. The Lord was speaking to Moses and was downloading very detailed instructions to his favorite Old Testament Revolutionary. He gave Moses two stone tablets (31:18) and provided a short list of rules to follow. While God was doing this the Israelites got restless. [...]

Monday, July 18, 2011 Read: Exodus 26-30 The instructions have continued for a few chapters and are coming down fast and furious to Moses and his people.

Sunday, July 17, 2011 Read: Exodus 25 Once you enter covenant with God there is no guarantee that every day is going to be a “gotta facebook this!” experience. The people of God exit the euphoria of dining with Yahweh and get down to the nuts and bolts of Revolution. It doesn’t sound romantic but [...]

Saturday, July 16, 2011 Read: Exodus 24 The people of God finally decide to accept Yahweh’s covenant offer. Covenant means “to cut.” Covenant is a bloody deal and it always involves sacrifice. Whether it is Abraham and God, or a Junior Soldier swearing in ceremony covenant involves blood and sacrifice. And it appears that the [...]

Friday, July 15, 2011 Read: Exodus 23 Here are more Revolutionary regulations from Yahweh to the people. They may not look that exciting to you now but you are enjoying the benefits of their practice. People all over the world would love to read and experience the regulations of these verses. If you were systematically [...]

Thursday, July 14, 2011 Read: Exodus 22 “Alright, alright, another list of laws. We get it.” Sure, there were a bunch of rules God laid on the people (again, all for their own good). But what can we learn from examining these laws. Many times people think that Old Testament laws are contradictory to who [...]

Wednesday, July 13, 2011 Read: Exodus 21 Whew! That’s a huge list of laws (and all of them are for the Israelites’ sake). It is starting to look a bit like the Articles of War! But look at on in verses 5 and 6. There is a law for the Hebrews that slaves do not [...]
