Bible in a Year (The Story) Podcast
Religion & Spirituality
Today we read Exodus 33-34, Leviticus 24, and Psalm 81. In this story, we read about a state of jeopardy. We read how Moses interceded between God and Israel. We read how God will maintain His promises but we also read how the perpetual, immediate betrayals affect our relationship with Him. We read about God’s immutable characters in Exodus 34:6-7, one of the most cited passages in the entire Bible. We make a distinction between mercy, which is NOT niceness and justice, which is NOT aggression. In this story we learn about the importance and the effect of pursuing the presence of God. We become what we behold. We are what we love. God’s presence leads to a type of transformation that results in radiance. So cool!
