My Mini-Bible Study for 2019
Read the Bible in a Year

Using The NRSV Daily Bible

Today’s Reading

1/19/2019 Day 19           Exodus 12:31 – 15:21

Reflection:

The people are liberated. Passover becomes a traditional observance.
God leads them a different way as a pillar of fire and smoke. They cross
the Red Sea; Egypt’s army is destroyed; Moses and Miriam sing.

Meditation/Contemplate:

Can you imagine this day of liberation after over 400 years of slavery.

Prayer:

Make us the instruments of freedom and liberation! Amen

Psalm 98 or

Coverdale

Cantate Domino

Sing to the LORD a new song, *

for he has done marvelous things.

With his right hand and his holy arm *

has he won for himself the victory.

The LORD has made known his victory; *

his righteousness has he openly shown in

the sight of the nations.

He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to

the house of Israel, *

and all the ends of the earth have seen the

victory of our God.

Shout with joy to the LORD, all you lands; *

lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing.

Sing to the LORD with the harp, *

with the harp and the voice of song.

With trumpets and the sound of the horn *

shout with joy before the King, the LORD.

Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, *

the lands and those who dwell therein.

Let the rivers clap their hands, *

and let the hills ring out with joy before the LORD,

when he comes to judge the earth.

In righteousness shall he judge the world *

and the peoples with equity.
