Week 16

THE WILDERNESS JOURNEY

Israel's journey through the Sinai wilderness contains lessons for us.

We are called on to make the journey from "bondage" to the land of Promise (the Kingdom of God).
Route of the Exodus

DAILY NOTES

SUNDAY
Exodus 16
Israel soon forgot God's goodness and began to murmur. The "Manna" (verses 14-18) had to be collected and eaten daily - like our daily ration from the Scriptures.
MONDAY
Exodus 17
The smitten rock (verse 6) pointed to Christ who would be a fountain of life. (1 Corinthians 10:4).
TUESDAY
Exodus 19
Israel were special to God (verses 5-6) as those in Christ also are (1 Peter 2:9).
WEDNESDAY
Exodus 20
The Ten Commandments were guides to Israel's happiness. See Mark 12:28-34 and Luke 10:25-28.
THURSDAY
Exodus 24
Israel said they would be obedient (verse 7) but failed. We ALL need a Saviour!
FRIDAY
Exodus 25
The Tabemacle, at the centre of the Camp, pomted forward to Christ who should be at the centre of our lives.
SATURDAY
Exodus 32
It is important to worship God in His way, not our own (verse 5). Man makes his own gods, but they are always degrading.
