Today's Reading February 06
Morning reading from the Old Testament
the Exodus, chapters 39 and 40
Evening reading from the New Testament
the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verses 1 through 22
Today's morning reading completes the book of the Exodus. The Exodus is the second of the remarkable books that our Jewish friends recognize as Torah and it is for them foundational. But it is no less important to Christians, and does not get the attention it deserves. God Almighty is still in the business of bringing His people out of bondage. And, like the Hebrew children led by Moses, we are still stiff-necked, complaining, and prone to sin. ''All we like sheep have gone astray ...'' and that has not changed. One of the phrases repeated in these two final chapters is ''... as the LORD commanded Moses.'' Doing as the LORD commands is still the way we must go. One of the calls upon our lives is to obedience to what the LORD has revealed to us.
