Daily D – Exodus 19:3-6

by David Bowman | Jan 24, 2024 | Daily D | 0 comments

Exodus 19:3-6 Moses went up the mountain to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain: “This is what you must say to the house of Jacob and explain to the Israelites: ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now if you will carefully listen to me and keep my covenant, you will be my own possession out of all the peoples, although the whole earth is mine, and you will be my kingdom of priests and my holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to say to the Israelites.” (CSB)

Mark Twain said, “History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.” Here we see one of history’s rhymes. God said to Abraham in Genesis 12:2,

I will make you into a great nation,
I will bless you,
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

God blessed Abraham to bless the whole world. Now he blesses the people he has saved from Egypt and delivered to Mount Sinai. They, too, are blessed to be a blessing. They are to be a “kingdom of priests” and a “holy nation.” They are to represent God to the world and to live lives dedicated to knowing him and making him known.

This assignment is given again to us today. The Apostle Peter says,

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his possession,
so that you may proclaim the praises of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Like Abraham and Israel, we are chosen by God and assigned by him to bless others as we have been blessed. We are to declare God’s greatness and goodness and to invite others into his light and the life he gives.

You are part of God’s Light and Life Brigade.

Who will you bless today?

—

I will extend to others what God has extended to me.

—

Our Father, you have blessed us so abundantly. Make us carriers of your light and life. Use us to deliver others from darkness and welcome them into your light and life. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
