Today’s Reading

1/25/2019     Day 25   Exodus 31:1 - 34:35

Reflection:

God consults with Moses for a long time and gives him
Tablets with the 10 commandments; the people lose faith
for Moses is gone and they create and golden calf to worship;
God is mad and disappointed and Moses goes to them and

Also get mad and disappointed; Moses breaks the commandments
as a sign of broken relationship with God; Moses goes back up

to the Mountain to intercedes and talks God through God’s anger;

God cools off and renews the covenant and makes new tablets;
Moses goes back down to the people and they affirm the covenant as
Moses reiterates the way life should be lived. Moses has been hanging
around God too much and Moses face glows with the radiance of God.

Meditation/Contemplate:

God is forgiving regardless of the sin for now God looks at us and sees
Jesus and we are always forgiven. We are to forgive all.

Prayer:

Have mercy on me, O Eternal One, for I have sinned. Amen
