60IN60 Day 56 - Sun Feb 25

It's Day 56 and we're in Exodus 34.

Where God Spoke To Me:

- Nothing really jumped out to me today.

 

Help:

- Verse 7 - We talked about this "third and fourth generations" issue back at Exodus 20.  The best explanation I've come up with is that this is a statement of the way life works: when parents are disobedient, their children learn that and the influence can filter down generation after generation.

- Verse 14 - "a jealous God" - Not a petty jealousy, but it means that God expects us to keep our commitment to Him, the same way a wife should expect her husband to keep his marital promises to her.

- Verse 26 - "young goat" - An obscure point, but some of what God shares is for this particular rural nation at this particular time in history.

- Verse 28 - "he did not eat. . . or drink" - That would make this, like Jesus' 40 days, a supernatural event.
