    One thing that really struck me with the Exodus passage is that they were using Gold, Bronze, and Silver…the same articles He had them take from the Egyptians. I love how Jesus will allow us to overcome our enemies and still show us that it is for HIS glory!

    Matthew 14:19 Jesus is telling the people to sit while he served them. I think Jesus and God are telling you that you have to sit and be patient and God will feed you

    Jesus must have been heartbroken to hear of his cousin John — he retreated, because he wanted to be alone in his grief but the crowds followed him. And then, in the midst of his grief, he demonstrates love & heals their sick, feeds the multitudes, walks on water. Could it be that his vulnerable place of suffering enabled the power of God to work through him all the more? ! And it brings me to tears thinking of my savior extending that love to the masses, even though he himself felt broken and sad, he ministered to his people. How much more should we then minister to that stranger in the grocery store, that girl on our block who seems to like all the wrong guys, our weird neighbor. Even when we don’t feel like it.

    And ladies. Look how Herodias used her daughter to carry out the execution plan of John the Baptist. A scary call to examine our own hearts, as our kids are always watching and emulating our behavior! I only wonder how old that girl was, and how much she already knew about the situation before making her request.

      Yes, Im starting to think what about Jesus? What about God? God had no one when he lost his son. Just breaks my heart.

      Yes I was thinking what horror she must have had carrying a human head on a platter because her mother told her to! I’d be scarred for life!

    For some reason, I never realized that Jesus ministered the crowds of his own grief today he found out his cousin John was beheaded

    1. Gail says:

      Sorry- won’t let me edit …. What I was trying to say was that Jesus set aside his own grief to minister to the crowds. Lord you are so amazing trying to say

        I noticed this today, too Gail :)

    Matt 12: 23-31 I’ve read the story of Peter walking on water before but now it’s suddenly resonating with me. Without the Lord, we begin to sink just as Peter did. We look at the wind, all the troubles of this world and all the sin, and become scared, which causes us to lose our faith in the power of Jesus. I pray that the Lord will teach me how I can have faith in him despite daily struggles, and that I can uphold a consistent faith in Him!!!

      Couldn’t have said it better. God is so good.

      Reminds me of the song about this story: “Spirit, lead me where my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon the waters wherever you would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander that my faith would be made stronger in the presence of my Savior.”

      1. Adrienne says:

        Yeeeeees! Such a great song.

    I’ve never read this much of Exodus before and it is confusing! I would love a SRT study on just Exodus to help explain its purpose!

    1. Yes! Me too!!! That’s a great idea.

      I know an amazing exodus study!! It’s by Jen Wilkin!

    It’s crazy to think that even though the Israelites wondered in the desert for years they were still able to build the tabernacle. Using gold and luxurious thread to create such a beautiful masterpiece where they could worship God. I love the saying ‘the WILL of God will not take you where the GRACE of God will not cover you’. Although they wondered for years, God still blessed them. It’s not always about the place that your in, but rather the fruit that you bear that shows God’s work in your life. To think building a tabernacle from gold, bronze and other things whilst being in the desert is so amazing that it must be God!

    1. Sheri says:

      Love that! Never thought about that aspect. That God provided even though they were in the wilderness! Wow!
