“Tell the sons of Israel to raise a contribution for Me; from every man whose heart moves him you shall raise My contribution.” God always calls His children to give willingly. He invites His children to free themselves from their stuff by willingly sharing it with Him and participating in His spiritual enterprises. This type … Continue reading Giving to God – Exodus 25:2

Out of His Mercy – Exodus 25:22
I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the testimony; I will speak with you from there about all that I command you regarding the Israelites. All to which God calls us and in which He instructs us flows out of His mercy. … Continue reading Out of His Mercy – Exodus 25:22
God’s Timing – Exodus 24:16
The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. Based on this simple detail in the book of Exodus, it strikes me that God’s timing is quite different than ours. Moses and … Continue reading God’s Timing – Exodus 24:16
Ears to Hear – Exodus 20:19
Then they said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but let not God speak to us, or we will die.” Their fear of God's unveiled holy nature and His wrath toward sin led His chosen people to an irrational place. They knowingly choose to be out of direct range of hearing … Continue reading Ears to Hear – Exodus 20:19

Favor From Fear – Exodus 1:21
Because the midwives feared God, He established households for them. The fundamental building block for God’s favor is the fear of Him. Reverence for Father God ushers in His gracious favor resulting in His blessing. At the most basic level, living in sync with God is simply, ‘fear God and keep His commandments’. Fear is … Continue reading Favor From Fear – Exodus 1:21
Inside Out – Exodus 35:21
Everyone whose heart was moved and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments. Our motivation, as specified by God earlier in this chapter, must come from the inside out. There is goodness in … Continue reading Inside Out – Exodus 35:21
Speaking Truth in the Light of God’s Glory – Exodus 34:33
When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. We must never feel obligated to make excuses for Gods glorious presence and His Holy Word. Never! This verse seems to indicate that Moses did the preaching without the veil. His glowing face was obvious and evident as he shared God's … Continue reading Speaking Truth in the Light of God’s Glory – Exodus 34:33
God’s Fear Inducing Glory – Exodus 34:30
When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face shone! They were afraid to come near him. There is an element of the reflected glory of God that causes an inexplicable fear in people. This 'glowing' is an odd thing to those who don't have any experience with it and possibly … Continue reading God’s Fear Inducing Glory – Exodus 34:30
