With the tabernacle nearly complete, Moses pauses to give an accounting. Every offering, every piece of gold and thread is recorded. This is not bureaucracy—it’s worship. Transparency honours God. The result is not pride, but presence. What does it mean to live and serve with nothing hidden?

After failure and forgiveness, the work begins again. God invites His people to build the tabernacle—not just as an act of obedience, but as a restoration of relationship. Their giving is voluntary, their labor joyful. The sanctuary becomes a place of remembered presence. How do we respond to grace by joining God in His work?

As Moses remains on the mountain, the people below grow restless. They craft a golden calf—not to replace God, but to replace Moses, the visible leader they credit with their deliverance. In their fear, they reach for control. Yet even in betrayal, God remembers His covenant. Moses intercedes—not on merit, but on memory.

Worship is not improvised—it is instructed. As God continues to give detailed commands for the tabernacle, He focuses not only on space, but on people. Priests are clothed, anointed, and consecrated. The garments, oil, and incense speak of a holy calling. How do we remember that worship isn’t about performance—but presence prepared with reverence?

With freedom established and covenant confirmed, God invites His people to build a space where He will dwell. But first, they must offer. The tabernacle begins not with architecture, but with generosity. How does what we give shape what we carry—and how do we remember that presence is the goal?

After Sinai’s fire and voice, Israel receives something unexpected: case law. Yet these judgments are not cold—they are concrete expressions of God’s holy love. They form a people who remember both where they came from and who they belong to. How does justice shaped by remembrance form us today?

Before Israel reaches Sinai, God provides something quieter than thunder: the voice of wisdom through a foreign priest. But wisdom must be tested. Jethro’s advice appears helpful—like the serpent’s in the garden—yet it introduces a leadership structure God did not command. Are we listening for God’s voice, or only for what seems practical?

With Egypt behind and the wilderness ahead, Israel takes its first steps into freedom—and into testing. God delivers with power, but disciples through hunger and thirst. How do we remember God’s faithfulness when the path ahead looks uncertain?

God sends plagues not just to free His people, but to awaken hearts—to reveal His power over everything Egypt trusts. Exodus is not only escape; it’s confrontation. How does God confront the idols of a culture? And how do we discern His hand when He disrupts what is comfortable?
