My Mini-Bible Study for 2019

Read the Bible in a Year

Using The NRSV Daily Bible

Today’s Reading

1/21/2019     Day 21   Exodus 19:1 - 21:36

Reflection:

The people arrive at Mt. Sinai after 3 months journey; After they are
consecrated they hear the laws of God concerning community life
(the 10 commandments), worship, property (slaves), kinds
of murder, and livestock injuries. The code is to repay for exactly for
what is wronged (an eye for an eye, etc.) and call it good.

Meditation/Contemplate:

What are the rules for living in a community?  What is just and fair?

How will justice be distributed? God is lawgiver as well as redeemer.

Prayer:

Keep me mindful of the rule of life that you have for me. May my calling
be what you want me to do. May I act out of love in all things. 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.
