I know this blog is a day late, but by the time I read the passage for the day, I had to go to my volunteer job until midnight. Again, I had the awesome opportunity to talk about my journey through this Bible. People were interested in knowing what I'd read this past week and what some highlights have been for me. It was wonderful to share more about my journey with them.
I don't know how to witness to people. I haven't said, "Hey, you guys should be Christians!" But I think I have shared with them my faith, my spiritual ups and downs as I have gone through this book. I have shared with them my experiences. For example, I remember saying something like "I just love how God shows His/Her/Its love for His/Her/Its people here, and how immanent He is. I feel like He moved in me when I read this, and I felt so much peace." Stuff like that. I've told them that I have a faith in Christ, but I've not read the sinner's prayer to anyone yet. Maybe that will come. Let's hope and pray!
This day's reading was pretty boring to be honest. It was more rules and regulations about feasts and laws.
The theme of the fear or terror of God came up again in 23:27 when God tells the people that He is sending an angel ahead of them. He later refers to that angel as "my terror". He sent His terror ahead of them to clear out Canaan so that the Israelites could settle in a peaceful land. The terror of God. If I saw God, I wonder if I would be terrified.
Then God tells Moses how to make the Tabernacle and all its elements. There is so much gold involved! The thing must have been quite the sight to see. The ark must have been beautiful. The lid with two cherubim was made from one piece of gold and the way it is described, it would have shone in the sunlight and been so beautiful.
Well, that's all for now!
