So I can't believe the sem. is already beginning! I just had my first day of classes, and it was enjoyable yet very overwhelming ;)
By popular requests, I have been thinking about formatting things to be more convenient for people. I think that since things are so busy, and there are some times when there's a little extra time to read, and some days that are tough keeping up, it would be good to do a week at a glance. So, I'll go ahead and post stuff for the rest of this week, and then every Sunday I'll update the week at a glance. Thanks to those who've given me feedback, and enjoy the week!

Justice

Wow so I just read this note today on Exodus and it seems so applicable:
"There are probably no more biblically familiar words than "thou shalt not."...Many of these (laws mentioned to the Israeli people) are surprisingly applicable across time and culture. The poor still struggle for justice in our criminal system. The immigrant struggles in our midst more than ever...Such obedience will show the character of Israel's God."

Heart

I pray that our hearts may never be hardened. I read about "heart" in Exodus, and the Wesley Bible defines it as our spiritual center. I believe that God allows us to make decisions on whether or not we will follow Him.  Although God hardens Pharoah's heart, there are many times when Pharoah hardens his own heart.

Living with a hardened heart is such a scary thing. Thinking of this as a spiritual center, a "hardened heart" means a hardened spirit; no matter what happens (or what "signs" Pharoah was shown in his case), you aren't moved by it. Pharoah's own first born died, yet his heart was still hardened.

Our spiritual heart must never be hardened, must remain open, yet at the same time guarded. Although it may seem impossible to do all three, it is possible by giving our hearts to God.  I was reading a book by Sam Wells that "Not wanting to do the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong way for wrong reasons holds many--perhaps most--people from doing anything at all." I believe that when our hearts are centered on God, we can truly understand His will. When we make mistakes, hopefully our relationship with God is strengthened. I heard this amazing song on the radio the other day...
