February 6, Day 37

Today's Reading

Exodus. God gave very specific instructions about how to handle property disputes. They had been slaves their whole lives.  Personal property wasn't much of an issue.  Now they had to learn how to live as owners.

Three Festivals were held each year to celebrate God's provision for His people. Each of them marked, not only an important agricultural season, but a reminder about the character of God. 

God promised to go before His people when then entered the Promised Land. Next, God called key leaders near to show them some of His work and validate Moses as their leader. They were about to be tested; Moses would disappear into the cloud with God and be gone a long time.  Would they remember this event and stand strong?  Or would they give in to the desires of the people?
