OT Overview Devotions (Week 7: Exodus 32-34)
Day #1:
Read Exodus 19:4-6 again. What did it mean for Israel to be in relationship with God and to serve him? How does that affect the way you see our relationship with God now?
Take time now to speak to God and share with him how you feel about it.
Day #2:
Read Exodus 32:1-29. Whilst Moses was receiving instructions for the tabernacle, what were the people doing? How did both Moses & God respond?
How would you have felt if you were God? Do you think that their responses are justified? Why or why not?
Day #3:
Read Exodus 32:30-34:3. Including what we’ve seen yesterday, what are the consequences of Israel’s actions?
What ultimately changes God’s mind about the consequences? Why is that significant?
Day #4:
Read the rest of Exodus 34. What does God reveal about himself here? How does that fit with what he’s done in the last few chapters?
Day #5:
By the end of this account, how is Israel’s relationship with God? What are some things that indicate the state of their relationship?
Day #6:
What have you learnt about man’s hearts in this episode? By contrast, what have you learnt about God and his character? How do these things shape the way you relate to God?
Pray to our Heavenly Father and speak to him. Tell him about how you view your relationship with him now, and praise him for the God he’s revealed himself to be.
