Exodus 40 by Redemption Olds

This is the renewing of the decimated wedding vows. The restoration of their broken relationship . This is God, responding to His unfaithful bride. And the first thing we see, in verses 1-9 is God fulfilling this promise to show Himself to Moses. We don’t know what Moses saw… if anything, but what he heard was amazing. Rather than coming in anger and wrath the Lord came in gentleness and kindness. Rather than emphasizing His power

His sovereignty

His holiness

His justice or His rightful wrath against sin

as the LORD shows Himself to Moses, what we see is His Grace.

What Makes Us Distinct Exodus 33 by Redemption Olds

The Pursuit of Glory Exodus 32 by Redemption Olds

Every word that he (Paul) has written, from his opening greeting onward, drives to this final summary. It all culminates right here in this statement: To God be the glory!

And there is kind of a threefold meaning and purpose behind this statement

First, it’s just Paul’s genuine overflow of worship!...

second ...it’s His expression of worship, but it’s also a call to us to worship!...

And then finally, it is an affirmation, a statement of confidence that this will, in fact be true.

Proverbs 3:9–10

Honor the LORD with your wealth

and with the firstfruits of all your produce;

then your barns will be filled with plenty,

and your vats will be bursting with wine.

If you are stingy and miserly towards those in need the Lord will be stingy toward you. But if you open your hands, if you let what you have flow freely to others, not as a guarantee or some financial transaction but as a general principle, the Lord will return that with blessing. To those who are generous, the Lord will show Himself generous.

The Secret of Contentment...now, you might read this and think, “he says that he has learned the secret… but he doesn’t tell us what it is!”

And it’s true he doesn’t say “Hey, here it is, this is the secret!” Rather, what he is doing is showing himself as the living breathing example of the secret in action. And so we just need to look at that example.
