The Bushnell Project

We think what God has already done is awesome, and it is, but in this passage, God is saying… oh you ain’t seen anything yet…

Are you making much of yourself? Or if God? Moses struggles here 

With new confidence Moses and Aaron go to Pharaoh and say those famous words, “let my people go…”.   But just as God had said, it does not go over well with Pharaoh. How are your plans working out?

Quick closing to this chapter, but a lot of travel happens here.  On top of that, Moses finds that everything God said would happen, happens, and the people believe Moses and the story that he and Aaron telll them.  Great worship happens here at the end... and no lights, or darken rooms where needed... oh, and no music... of course they may have broken out in dancing.

Some strange and easily forgotten aspects of Moses journey.  What simple thing are you forgetting to do?

Moses gets a bad wrap, but is he not a lot like you and me?  He is not living like God wants him too, and now that God is asking him to do something for God... he has doubts.  

We are quick to criticize Moses, but are we not all like Moses when it comes to our faith and how we truly walk out what we supposedly believe?  Are we God's elect? headed toward heaven (our true home), enjoying the inheritance with Jesus, the Creator of all things? God is always faithful, and He is at work, even today.  We need to join Him in His kingdom building, which may mean putting asid...

God is going to get it done... will Moses catch on, it is not his abilities?  But just his obedience. How about you?  Not sacrifice, but Obedience.

Here in Exodus 3 we have this encounter with the Creator of the Universe and one of His creations, Moses.  Something happens against the laws of nature, and the great I AM shows us that Time has no control of Him, or that He is affected by Time.  

John A Bushnell passed away in my arms late Friday night, officially at 12:32 am on Saturday. Born in 1933, he lived a great life.  Miss you dad.

Well, not much.  But God was working on him:)

Moses quickly steps into handling injustice… wrongly, but seems to learn from it, and adjust his next response

God is faithful, and here we see Him working miracles to save Moses life

The hero here are two woman, but the story is still about the great and faithful God that they fear.

Life update and the beginning of Exodus

As we grow in the Lord, we must stay humble.  Here in Psalm 19:12-14, we see that we must allow God to show us our sin, as well as helping us stay away from those sins that so easy clings to us (Hebrews 12:1). What an fun time doing this one... hit the mic, phone and other back ground noises... enjoy:)

What can feed your soul? What can revive your heart? What can bring life to your character (enlighten the eyes) Better than gold or anything else on this planet made by man. Better than any sweet food. Psalm 19: 7-11

The heaven declare...  Romans 10:18 Our God is faithful Amazing creation God is telling of himself in all things.

Psalms 19 is one of my favorite.  It is clear, short, and tells us so much about God, His Law, and us, His creation.  What is your favorite Psalm?

How peaceful it is to grow old in the middle of God's will, seeing our grand children and great grandchildren and maybe beyound.

Here in Genesis 50 we are concluding this amazing book about God, as we see Joseph forgiving his brothers for what they did to him 39 years earlier.

OK, I don't know if it was, but show me some historical document that has one?  This is a huge multi day funeral march with a seven day pause to mourn the death of WHO?  Jacob, also known as Israel, the son of Issac, the son of Abraham.  Jacob, the blessed man of the living God.  Jacob, the father of Joseph.

Jacob dies.  Joseph and all of Egypt pay the highest honors.

In this part of Genesis we have Jacob (Israel) blessing all 12 of his sons.  

Jacob blesses Joseph's sons, and elevating the second born. Joseph is elevated to oldest too, but that would not be the line that God uses.
