Today’s Scripture
“So I have come down to rescue them…and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land…”
(Exodus 3:8)
A Good and Spacious Land
Notice in today’s verse that God did not say He would bring His people into a small land; a little place, tight or crowded. No, receive this into your spirit: Just as God brought the children of Israel into a good and spacious land, so He will do the same for you! He wants to take you to the land of “more than enough,” a land of plenty of room flowing with the increase, good breaks and opportunity. He wants you to live in a land where you not only have enough for yourself, but you’re so blessed that you can be a blessing to other people. If you’re not in a good and spacious place today, the challenge is: don’t settle where you are. This is not your permanent address! It’s only temporary. Keep standing, keep believing, keep pressing forward and walk into the good and spacious land God has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. I trust that You are leading me into a new land, a spacious land filled with blessing and opportunity. I choose to stand and keep my eyes on You as You lead me forward in Your purposes in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
I hope someone can enlighten me as I believe GOD IS GOOD WITH SLAVERY.
EXODUS 21:20-21 “When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property.”
A good and Spacious Land is Lower Zambezi National Park…..
Sooo… Just so long as they do not die, beat the hell out of them (pun intended) in a good spacious land..
… Also note the ‘man’ narrative. Thinly disguised misogynistic Bible?!!
And if sexual abuse can occur in this day and age, in ‘those days’, the owner could get away with anything as both male and female are his property.
Moses (1393-1273 BCE) and the Patriarchs got together and decided to “brainwash” all humans for the next 3,300 years.
They said to themselves, “We’ll make up a bunch of stuff, then in a few hundred years, some of our ancestors will become prophets, and they’ll make up some other stuff that will agree with our stuff!”
Then Israel will have a king in a few centuries, and he’ll write Psalms that will further brainwash people!
Then, in 1,200 years, there will be a baby born that just happens to agree with the stuff we made up, and his disciples will make up more stuff that will agree with our stuff, and then everyone three thousand years from now will be “brainwashed!”
Brilliant plan!
