EXODUS 17-18:
Yesterday we heard the wonderful victory song
of Moses. Then we heard how the people of Israel grumbled against
Moses, Aaron, and most importantly, the Lord. Even about something
as simple as gathering manna, the people of Israel disobey
repeatedly. They are not called stubborn for
nothing.
JOB 39:
God
continues for a second chapter in challenging Job.
2PETER 3:
Yesterday it struck me that even in Peter's
day, there were greedy false teachers. Peter's descriptions of the
false teachers are some of the most colorful in the
Bible.
