Remember, in His Word, God has:
- Something to see – what does the text say
- Something to understand – what does it mean
- Something to apply – what does it mean to me
- Something to praise – for what are you thankful?
This Week’s Reading Plans:
1) Through the Bible
| Day 1: Gen 47-48 | Day 4: Ex 3-4 |
| Day 2: Gen 49-50 | Day 5: Ex 5-6 |
| Day 3: Exodus 1-2 | Day 6: Ex 7-8 |
2) Key Passages
This week’s devotional theme is judgment. The Sunday sermon text is expected to be Genesis 11-12. We prefer mercy over judgment in our lives, but both mercy and judgment are necessary characteristics that flow from a God who is love. As is often the case the bible brings together these elements side by side. In Genesis 3 we see both curse and promise. Following the judgment of ch 11 we get the call of (and promise to) Abram, the father of faith!
