EXODUS 9-10:
The
two chapters we read yesterday included the story of Aaron's staff
becoming a serpent, and the plagues of blood, frogs, gnats, and
flies.
Note verse that in our reading today:
9:19 Now give orders for your livestock and everything else you have in the open to be put under shelter. Hail will fall on the people and animals left outside unprotected, and they will all die.’ ”
Evidently enough time had passed between the plague against the livestock so that the Egyptians were able to buy livestock, and I am sure the people of Israel profited in that!
JOB 35:
This
is Elihu's 4th chapter preaching to Job.
JAMES 4:
Yesterday James preached about controlling the
tongue, then he taught about the qualities of wisdom from
God.
NLT Translation
notes:
4 You
adulterers!* Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes
you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of
the world, you make yourself an enemy of
God.
* 4:4 Greek You
adulteresses!
[And this
is about faithfulness to God, using human adultery as a picture of
it. That is exactly how God views it.]
