I am thankful to have finished reading the book of Exodus.  It is an intriguing book that starts out with Moses being led by God to lead the people out of Israel and start their own nation and people.  The end of the book is filled with specifics about how exactly the tabernacle, priests garments, and what is inside the tabernacle should be made.  I am intrigued to think about how God is a God who is VERY clear about what is to be.  God gave clear promises to Israel.  If they followed Him they would prosper and if   they didn't there would be consequences.  God was also specific in the New Testament about Jesus, his work, and they way to an eternal relationship with God.

We should thank God that He has saved us and is so incredibly specific and clear as to how to have that relationship.   In the 1000's of different religions around the world most are filled with confusion, wonder, and false hope that a person will have eternal life, or peace, or tranquility.  How scary it must be to worship a god that could be happy with you one minute and then angry the next.  How do people know which god to pray to?  Or if their god can hear them?  I think of Elijah in 1 Kings 18 in his "competition" to see which God was greater Baal or YAHWEH.  Elijah makes fun of their false god by asking them prophets if Baal is "musing" (thinking) "reliving himself" (no clarification needed there) "sleeping" or "out on a journey" (vacation).  Our LORD is never eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient.

We can be so thankful that God and is attributes are so so clear in scripture and worship him accordingly.

Love in Christ,
Nathaniel
