The Replacements


Today's Reading: Numbers 8



The replacements-


Numbers 8:5–6 (ESV)5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Take the Levites from among the people of Israel and cleanse them. 
Numbers 8:12–13 (ESV)12 Then the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the Lord to make atonement for the Levites. 13 And you shall set the Levites before Aaron and his sons, and shall offer them as a wave offering to the Lord.

Worthy of Filling


Today's Reading: Ex. 39-40; Ps. 15; Acts 12

His glory filled the tabernacle- Exodus 40:34–38


Personalize it method (Rick Warren's 40 Days in the Word): Lord please illuminate your Word today by your Holy Spirit and give me the message that I am to apply to my life today.  Amen.

See that I dwell in my tabernacle Jeff- but it must be perfect.  This is why you need complete reliance on my Son.

How to Build a Tabernacle: Part 2


Today's Reading: Exodus 35

Today is part 2 of a study on Exodus Chapter 35.  See yesterday's post for more information about this chapter study approach and the questions I started with- but this post lays out the first days study to answer the questions that came out of part 1. The study for question 1, 2, and 12 are begun below but are not complete. I am unsure how to post these as I continue the study so that there is not a bunch of duplicate reading but we'll see...

Before He Made Adam, He Chose The Cross

Today's reading: Genesis6-8, Luke 3

I will call today's study method search and see what you find...

Genesis 6:1-3
Increasing Corruption on Earth
1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”

Abel's Surrender

Today's Reading: Genesis 3-5, Luke 2

SPADES Method (Kent Spark's adaptation of Rick Warren's SPACEPETS):

Genesis 4:3-7
In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”
