STEP 5: WEEK 16
THE WILDERNESS JOURNEY Israel's journey through the Sinai wilderness contains lessons for us. We are called on to make the journey from 'bondage' to the land of Promise (the Kingdom of God). DAILY NOTESSUNDAY - Exodus 16 - Israel soon forgot God's goodness and began to murmur. The 'Manna' (verses 14-18) had to be collected and eaten daily - like our daily ration from the Scriptures. MONDAY - Exodus 17 - The smitten rock (verse 6) pointed to Christ who would be a fountain of life. (1 Corinthians 10:4) TUESDAY - Exodus 19 - Israel were special to God (verses 5-6) as those in Christ also are (1 Peter 2:9). WEDNESDAY - Exodus 20 - The Ten Commandments were guides to Israel's happiness. See Mark 12:28-34 and Luke 10:25-28. THURSDAY - Exodus 24 - Israel said they would be obedient (verse 7) but failed. We ALL need a Saviour! FRIDAY - Exodus 25 - The Tabernacle, at the centre of the Camp, pointed forward to Christ who should be at the centre of our lives. SATURDAY - Exodus 32 - It is important to worship God in His way, not our own (verse 5). Man makes his own gods but they are always degrading. |
