Closer Day By Day

Bible Passage:  Exodus 22 Continuing on from Chapter 21, we are now in Chapter 22 (duh..), whereby we see more laws being covered. In today’s chapter, there are two main laws being covered: (1) Laws concerning property and (2) laws concerning moral and ceremonial principles (at least that’s how they’re classified in my Bible). I’ll [...]

Bible Passage: Exodus 21 Climbing this forty metre walkway is nothing compared to the journey to Mount Sinai. It only seemed like yesterday we received the Ten Commandments from God. Now we are given the law to follow and I can’t even remember all of them…that’s referring to the ones mentioned in Exodus 21. However [...]

Bible Passage:  Exodus 20 The Ten Commandments. Most of us Christians (or even non-Christians) are very familiar with the Big Ten. Or maybe not? Close your Bible now, and try to list down the Ten Commandments in order on a piece of paper. Did you get them all right? Often, something that we thought we [...]

Bible Passage: Exodus 19 Yesterday biblereadingcompanion started off by writing about how the passage that we are assigned to write on often has encouragements and reminders that we need at that time. Today’s chapter was no different for me.   Last night right before church service i received a phone call which left me distracted [...]

Bible Passage:  Exodus 18 The schedule for the Bible Blog writers is done so quite randomly.  But one of the amazing things that most of us who contribute to this blog experience is this…. the passage that we are assigned to write on very often has direct, pertinent and necessary lessons that we ourselves need [...]

Bible Passage:  Exodus 17 Having read in both chapters 15 and 16 how the Israelites were lamenting the lack of consumable food and drinks, does the incident recorded in verses 1-7 for today’s chapter sound all too familiar? When I was studying the Israelite’s exodus from Egypt as part of the main syllabus during the [...]

Bible Passage:  Exodus 16 It’s hot, hot, hot! I feel like a slab of melted cheese in this sweltering weather. Why did God create mosquitoes? They suck my blood and leave ugly red marks on my skin! Why am I placed in the company of dishonest people in school and backstabbers in the workplace? Why [...]

Bible Passage: Exodus 15 The song of Moses, the song of victory, some people call it the song of the sea (hmmmm sounds familiar to singaporeans?). In this chapter, the name of the sister of Aaron and Moses, was first mentioned. How do you feel after going through the 10 plagues of Egypt? With the [...]

The crossing of the Red Sea is an incident that we are all very familiar with having heard this story many times in the process of growing up. In fact, it is well-known not only to us Christians but also to many who have never touched a Bible in their lives. The difference however, lies [...]

  After reading the post by biblereadingcompanion, and also after reading today’s chapter, I feel that this is the point in the history of the Israelites that we all can feel most connected with; because after a long time of 430 years, the people of God were finally liberated from their oppression; a time when [...]
