EXODUS 29:
Yesterday we read about the design of the altar
for burnt offerings and the plans for the courtyard. The dimensions
we heard the day before were for the sacred tent that was enclosed
by the courtyard that we heard about yesterday. And we read about
the fabulous garments for the priests, Aaron and his
sons.
PSALM 3:
As
the title says, this is “A psalm of David, regarding the time David
fled from his son Absalom.”
Found at various strategic points in the Psalms is the word ‘Selah’. This has been variously translated. The truth is, we don’t know what it means! But people conjecture that it is a musical term, and it likely could have signalled an interlude. I suspect it could also be a repetition mark. Whatever it is, it likely would have had the effect of allowing the listener to pause and reflect on what was just performed or communicated.
Luke 4:
Yesterday we heard of John the Baptist's
ministry and imprisonment, and the genealogy of Jesus.
