Daily Devotional from Exodus 39-- Verse 43And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, so they had done it. Extravagant—that’s how I would describe the final result of the Tent of Meeting.

Daily Devotional from Exodus 20-- Verse 3You shall have no other gods before me. In Exodus 19-21, we see a stunning display of God’s power and His outline for morality for the people of Israel. These are the first laws given to them to follow, and they come down to two things: love God and love your neighbor (Mark 12:29-31). This is the struggle of the human condition.
