EXODUS 34-35:
Yesterday, we read about how God's meeting with Moses was interrupted because of the people making the golden calf. (Don’t ya’ hate interruptions!) Aaron caved in to the people's desires. Moses interceded for the people, and God agreed not to destroy them. God eventually agreed to go with the people to the promised land. As we closed chapter 33, Moses had asked to actually see God. God will hide Moses in a cleft in a rock, and allow Moses to see his back.

PSALM 6:
This Psalm is a prayer of an wronged and oppressed man crying out to God for help and rescue. God has revealed more to us than was revealed to David. We now know that people can praise God after death.

LUKE 6:
Yesterday in chapter 5, Jesus called several of his disciples after the miracle of the large catch of fish, healed two men, and answered a question about fasting.

GNT Translation note:
Luk. 6:15 Matthew and Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, and [another] Simon (who was called the Patriot), 16 [also] Judas son of James, and Judas [the man from the village of Carioth//Iscariot], who became the traitor.
17 When Jesus had come down from the hill with the apostles, he stood on a level place with a large number of his disciples. A large crowd of people was there from all over Judea and from Jerusalem and from the coast[al] cities of Tyre and Sidon;
20 Jesus looked at his disciples and said,
“Happy are you [who are] poor;
the Kingdom of God is yours!
22  “Happy are you when people hate you, reject you, insult you, and say that you are evil, all because of [Me,] the Son of Man!

NLT Translation notes:
13 At daybreak he called together all of his disciples and chose twelve of them to be [his/0] apostles. Here are their names:
16 Judas (son of James), Judas [(from the village of Karioth//0] (who later betrayed him).
22 What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow [Me,/0] the Son of Man.
