Here are this week's scriptures for study and meditation:
Exodus 13:17-22 When Pharaoh let the people go, God didn't lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, even though that was the shorter route. God thought, If the people have to fight and face war, they will run back to Egypt. So God led the people by the roundabout way of the Reed Sea desert. The Israelites went up out of the land of Egypt ready for battle. Moses took with him Joseph's bones just as Joseph had made Israel's sons promise when he said to them, “When God takes care of you, you must
carry my bones out of here with you.” They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham at the edge of the desert. The Lord went in front of them during the day in a column of cloud to guide them and at night in a
column of lightning to give them light. The column of cloud during the day and the column of lightning at night never left its place in front of the people.
1 John 1:5-7 This is the message that we have heard from him and announce to you: “God is light and there is no darkness in him at all.” If we claim, “We have fellowship with him,” and live in the darkness, we are lying and do not act truthfully. But if we live in the light in the same way as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin. If we claim, “We don't have any sin,” we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from everything we've done wrong. If we claim, “We have never sinned,” we make him a liar and his word is not in us.
Psalm 92:12-15 The righteous will spring up like a palm tree. They will grow strong like a cedar of Lebanon. Those who have been replanted in the Lord's house will spring up in the courtyards of our God. They will bear fruit even when old and gray; they will remain lush and fresh in order to proclaim: “The Lord is righteous. He's my rock. There's nothing unrighteous in him.”
John 14: 25-29 "...I have spoken these things to you while I am with you. The Companion, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I told you. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I give you not as the world gives. Don't be troubled or afraid. You have heard me tell you, 'I'm going away and returning to you.' If you loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than me. I have told you before it happens so that when it happens you will believe..."
