Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning.

Today's Passage : Today's Passage:Moses and The Burning Bush [2]
Bible Verse:Exodus 3:7-12
"Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”"
Message:
Exodus tells us the names of seven primary tribes in early Canaan, but it is the only source historians have for much of the information. The Hivites, Perizzites, and Jebusites are unknown outside the Bible, although the latter two are mentioned in tablets found by archaeologists in Egypt, dating to @ 1400 B.C. (the “Armana Tablets”). The Amorites and Hittites were powerful ancient empires in Syria and Mesopotamia; apparently a fair number of each drifted down into Canaan.
It is interesting that the Bible has been proven historically correct many times. The most extreme case was the Hittites, perhaps the earliest of the great Levantine empires; until about 1840, they were unknown outside the Bible and many archaeologists believed the Hittites to be a Biblical invention or fiction. Then historical Hittite sites began to be found.
The “Canaanites” were a widespread, incohesive Semitic people inhabiting the lowlands between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean. (We will get yet another odd name, the “Girgashites”, a tribe in the very north of Canaan, in Deuteronomy and Joshua, which Joshua will have to subdue.) See Map of the Seven Nations of Canaan.
To put the geography in perspective, we have made a map showing the areas mentioned so far in Exodus, although the location of Mount Horeb (later called Mount Sinai) is speculative. Map for Exodus 2.
Meditation
:
Prayer :
I pray that I may be blessed every step of my path this day by the great God of light. May your sun shine upon me; as the moon moves the tide, may your Spirit move my emotions with every grace and magic; may my heart sing with the voice of your angels and my hearth be warm; and may this and every blessed day You have given me be filled with joy.
Amen.
