Essential Studies.
Exodus 9, The plague of hail: a shift
Additional studies: Exodus Index
We find in the description of the plague of hail something that we do not find in any descriptions of the other plagues:
“He who feared the word of YHVH among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee to the houses. But he who did not regard the word of YHVH left his servants and his livestock in the field.” Exo 9:20-21
God is teaching all who have ears to hear, to fear His word, because He is gracious and compassionate, and exercises mercy even when He is judging the pride of Pharaoh and the idols of the Egyptians.
Psalm 51, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Psalms Book Two (42-72) Index
The D pair surrounding the central axis: Uphold me by Your generous Spirit / Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God. The surrounding pairs force these together. While I was meditating on what it could mean, I remembered that Jesus equated the Holy Spirit with the Comforter. In Greek it is Parakletos, He who comes alongside to uphold, an Advocate. Your advocate goes with you before the judge to plead your case for acquital, or deliverance from guilt. God our Father is so amazing. Against Him, and Him only, have we sinned, and yet He has provided not only our Sin Sacrifice in Messiah Yeshua, but our Advocate to uphold our head and plead our case for us, so that we are delivered of the guilt of our sins. ♥
Romans 8, Walking in the Spirit
Additional studies: Romans Index
His statutes and judgments are explained in Torah and have not changed. But instead of trying to walk in His statutes from the flesh, that is, trying to obey commandments written on tablets of stone outside of us, while we still have the sin nature inherited from Adam within us, now we are walking in His statutes from the Spirit. We have have a new nature after the Spirit of God within us, and His statutes have been written on our hearts, because we have the new nature inherited from Messiah Yeshua within us. It is now our nature to obey His commandments, written on the tablets of our hearts.
