GOOD MORNING, SIBLINGS! I’m so excited to begin the week in the word with you! Today’s readings are Exodus 4-6 Rabbit Trails Today, I find Moses entirely relatable.

GOOD MORNING! Today’s readings are Exodus 7-9 Rabbit Trails We’ve got a lot to unpack today. 🌿First, we need to wrap our heads around this: The Israelites made up the bulk of all of Egypt’s labor and about 1/4 of it’s entire population. No wonder Pharaoh didn’t want to let them go as to do […]
GOOD MORNING! Today’s Readings are Exodus 10-12. Rabbit Trails 🌿Reminder: When Pharaoh asked for forgiveness, how can we know that this wasn’t true repentance? His life showed no change. He was merely using whatever means necessary to escape his current situation. When we repent, we turn from our own wisdom and turn to the wisdom […]
GOOD MORNING SIBLINGS! Today’s readings are Exodus 13-15 Rabbit Trails So today, I want to establish (with a visual) that there were a LOT of Israelites leaving Egypt. 🌿Exodus 12:37-38 tells us: “And the people of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. A mixed […]
GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING! Today’s readings are Exodus 16-18 Rabbit Trails 🌿Interesting fact alert! In Exodus 16:15 when the Israelites asked “what is it?” with regards to the name of manna, in Hebrew the transliterated words for “what is it?” are pronounced “Man-hu”. Neat, huh? Test it here: https://biblehub.com/interlinear/exodus/16-15.htm 🌿Exodus 16:16 They were told to gather […]

GOOD AFTERNOON! Saturday’s readings are Exodus 22-24 Rabbit Trails It is important to remember as we are reading these words spoken to Moses, that this is the voice of God (YHWH) speaking. I have a Bible that I don’t use much* except to remind me of important things like this because it has all of the […]
GOOD MORNING! Today’s readings are Exodus 25-27 Rabbit Trails I have to start with how thrilled and encouraged I was by all of the people who took part in my challenge the other day, to write out the complete Ten Commandments by hand. So many people posted pictures in the group discussion and talked about […]
Good Morning! Today’s readings are Exodus 28-29 Rabbit Trails Now keep in mind, as we are reading today, that the construction of the tabernacle has not taken place yet.

Good Morning! Today’s readings are Exodus 30-32 FYI I found a really neat reference Bible that I’ve been using to get a better grasp on what we are studying. It has lots of footnotes with dimensions of artifacts being given (in our measurements), archaeological finds that lend more insight into our readings, etc. It’s the […]
Good Morning, Siblings! Today’s readings are Exodus 33-35 Rabbit Trails 🌿Did you catch Exodus 33:2?
