February 14th -- Exodus 19 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2019&version=NLT)

God reveals Himself at Sinai.

Two months after leaving Egypt, the Israelites reach Sinai and set up base there. Moses then climbs up to the bae to appear before God. God gives him instructions to pass to the people - basically just to obey Him for they have seen how He rescued them from the Egyptians..

Moses tells the people, who say they will do what God has commanded. Then God sends him back with more instructions on how to prepare for God coming down from the mountain on the third day. He says they may not touch the mountain until the ram's horn goes, when they are to go up, but if they go sooner they will die.

Moses tells the people, and on the third day, they all go to the mountain to meet God. It was covered in smoke, because God had descended in fire. God calls out Moses to come up. He then sends Moses back down to get Aaron and also to warn the people not to try and cross the boundaries to see God. So Moses did this.

I think it's cool that God descended in fire. He is so powerful. He is so much so that he needed to set up boundaries and anyone who crossed them would die. It's just so cool to picture it. A mountain that looked like it was on fire somehow, when it was in fact God coming down to the people. I'd love to somehow go back in time and see it, y'know?

Well, I think that's all. God bless!
