First... there is a group of women committed to reading the Bible in 90 days -- pray for us to finish well and complete this task! It's so easy to fall behind and get discouraged!
Something I learned reading the Bible thru in 90 days.
I found myself thinking that the whole Pharoh/Moses situation was a very strange way for God to get His message across. Why couldn't it have been simpler? Why did it have to involve blood and death and icky things like gnats & flys & locusts (eww) I was asking God this and He showed me in my own life how often a word to me isn't enough. How I just see things my way, how set I am on doing things my way -- that God has to get creative. He has to go bigger. I joke that I am a 2x4 girl (meaning God often has to hit me over the head with a 2x4 to get my full attention). I didn't expect reading the Exodus story "again" would have that impact. That I would learn something new from a story I already "know."
