Today on Meditating the Word, God requires all firstborn males to be consecrated to him; the parting of the Red Sea; the Egyptian army is drowned; Moses and Miriam sing praises to God; the bitter waters of Marah are made sweet; and Israel camps at Elim.
This is Day 34. Today we are reading Exodus Chapters 13-15.

Father God, surely, there is nothing you can't do. We are still thrilled and amazed at the many miracles you performed for the children of Israel. And we are sometimes tempted to just them for doubting you. But, we ourselves experience doubt. Just as they were redeemed from the bondage of Egypt, we have been redeemed from a life of sin and shame. You rescued us with the same strong arm and mighty right hand. Just as you led them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, you lead us today in the way we should go. And just as the tree was thrown into the bitter waters of Marah and the waters became sweet, Jesus was hung on a tree to turn the bitterness of our lives into the sweetness of salvation. We don't deserve all you have done for us. We can't earn it. But we are so very grateful for the gift of salvation you have freely given. Thank you, Father. Amen
