Genesis 15:1-18 What was Abram thinking when God responded? I imagine it might have gone something like this: “Why are you telling me not to be afraid? Your warning only makes me more afraid. You are my protector? Where have you been? Great reward? Yeah right, you haven’t even given me children. For crying out…
Deuteronomy 26:1-11 The Book of Deuteronomy is not just a book of laws, it is a covenant. In ancient Near Eastern societies, covenants or treaties were often made between kings and their vassals. These treaties consisted of a preamble or historical prologue contextualizing the covenant, the terms of the covenant itself, an invocation of witnesses,…
Deuteronomio 26:1-11 El libro del Deuteronomio no es sólo un libro de leyes, es una alianza. En las antiguas sociedades del Cercano Oriente, se hacían a menudo alianzas o pactos entre los reyes y sus vasallos.

Exodus 34: 29-35 This may seem to be an odd bit of scripture. It is not very often that a person’s face actually glows before us. Still, the importance here is that Moses’ closeness with God changed him. Before this moment, the Book of Exodus tells us of Moses’ whole life and how an encounter…
Éxodo 34: 29-35 Esta escritura podría parecer un poquito extraña. No es con mucha frecuencia que el rostro de una persona brilla frente a nosotros. Aun así la importancia aquí es que el acercamiento de Moisés a Dios lo cambió. Antes de este momento, el libro de éxodo nos informa sobre toda la vida de…

Jeremiah 1:4-10 Here in the first words of the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, we hear God calling and commissioning the young boy into his prophetic vocation. Like Moses (and others) before him, Jeremiah’s first response to God’s call is one of trepidation. He fears he is not up to the task, due in large…

Isaiah 62:1-5 Even after the Babylonian exile was over, times were tough for the people of God in Judah. They were rebuilding their temple, but would it just be overrun again? If God hadn’t protected them before, why would God now? In this passage, though, we hear that God will never stop pursuing the chosen…
