Exodus 32-34, Psalm 28
Exodus 34:6-7 (NLT)
“The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, ‘Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations.”
In Exodus 34:6–7, the Lord reveals His character to Moses. Father-God describes Himself as compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love and faithfulness. His love is unfailing and extends far beyond a single human lifespan. The Lord forgives every kind of human wrongdoing, yet He does not leave sin unaddressed. He makes clear that the consequences of sin can affect future generations.
These verses are central to my understanding of the Lord’s nature. Father-God shows compassion, grace, patience, love, and truth in His relationship with His people. He is deeply forgiving, yet He is also just. The Lord’s refusal to ignore sin reflects His care for future generations, since unchecked sin can bring lasting harm.
At the same time, these verses show me the values I am called to reflect in my own life. Being slow to anger is one of the hardest for me. I tend to be overly critical, and I can easily become frustrated with people when I perceive a lack of common sense or competence. Recently, I heard someone say that as believers in Jesus Christ, we should view each person as someone Christ was willing to die for on the cross. That perspective stopped me. I realized I rarely think of people that way, and it made me confront my critical nature with humility. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I am learning to work on that tendency so that my life more closely reflects the Lord’s character—especially His patience and mercy.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is loving, just, and faithful to His people—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 27 Bible Readings - Exodus 31:6-11 (NLT)
Exodus 30-31, Psalm 27
Exodus 31:6-11 (NLT)
“Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you: the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand— and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you.”
In Exodus 31:6–11, the Lord tells Moses about the people He has chosen and equipped to build the Tabernacle. Father-God appoints Oholiab to assist Bezalel in its construction and gives skill and wisdom to other craftsmen as well. These artisans are empowered to create everything required for worship—the furnishings of the Tabernacle, the woven garments, and the anointing oil for Aaron and his sons. Through this passage, we see that the work of God is accomplished through many people, each equipped with specific abilities.
These verses remind me that the Lord chooses and equips people for particular purposes in the building of His church. Father-God has a role for every believer and provides the skills needed to carry out that work. Building the church and leading people to salvation is a communal effort that requires many different gifts. It took me a long time to recognize what my own contribution was, even though people throughout my life consistently reflected back to me that writing was a skill the Lord had given me. In nearly every job I’ve held, writing became part of my work—even when it wasn’t part of my job description.
For a long time, I never considered myself a skilled writer. I assumed I was simply a little better than average and accepted writing tasks without much thought. Since my salvation, however, I’ve begun to understand that writing is a gift Father-God entrusted to me and that He intends to use it for His purposes. I am also learning that my writing is an act of worship and obedience—a way to serve the Lord and participate in His plan for the world.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who equips each person with the gifts needed to fulfill His plan—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 26 Bible Readings - Exodus 29:45-46 (NLT)
Exodus 28-29, Psalm 26
Exodus 29:45-46 (NLT)
“Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God, and they will know that I am the Lord their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.”
In Exodus 29:45–46, the Lord declares His commitment to His people. Father-God promises to dwell among the descendants of Abraham, demonstrating His faithfulness and desire for relationship. The Lord wants His people to know that He is their God—the One who delivered them out of the bondage of slavery in Egypt. These verses reveal God’s intention to live among those who belong to Him.
These verses remind me that when I was saved through Jesus Christ, I became a child of God. Father-God desires a covenant relationship with me, just as He did with Abraham’s descendants. Scripture shows how the Lord delivered His people from slavery in Egypt and fulfilled His promises to Abraham, reminding believers that He is always faithful. In the same way, Christ saved us through His death and resurrection, delivering us from the slavery and bondage of sin. After His resurrection, He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within believers. Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Lord continues to guide, provide for, and protect His people—just as His presence dwelled with Israel in the Tabernacle in the Old Testament.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who faithfully dwells with His people—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 25 Bible Readings for January 27 – Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT)
Exodus 25-27, Psalm 25
Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT)
“Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.”
In Psalm 25:4–5, David expresses his desire for guidance, understanding, and instruction from the Lord. He asks Father-God to show him His ways so that he can understand His will. David demonstrates a willingness to learn and be led by the Lord. He recognizes that Father-God is the source of his salvation—the One who delivers him from danger and from his enemies. David also shows patience, trusting in the Lord’s timing and provision.
These verses resonate deeply with me, and I feel the need to keep them visible as a daily reminder. My church recently completed a 21-day prayer and fast for the new year, and one of our senior pastors encouraged us not to focus solely on asking God to fulfill our requests, but instead to ask, “Lord, what is Your will and plan for my life this year?” When I tried praying this way, it felt unfamiliar at first. Then I realized that Father-God already knows my desires—I don’t need to list them repeatedly during prayer and fasting.
Something happened during this time that felt truly miraculous to me. My best friend, who has never shown interest in faith or church, told me she wanted to attend one of my senior pastor’s evangelistic meetings. Over time, I had simply shared with her what I was experiencing at church and how it was shaping my life, without any expectation that she would respond. She has always been strongly opposed to organized religion, so this was completely unexpected. When I looked up my pastor’s schedule, I discovered he would be preaching at a revival meeting near where she lives. When I shared this with her, she said she was going to go.
I had been praying for the Lord to bring new friends into my life who love Him, since none of my close friends are currently believers. Instead of giving me new friendships, Father-God answered my prayer by drawing my best friend toward Him. That shift alone feels miraculous to me. Whatever happens next, I trust that she will have an encounter with the Lord this year. Knowing that something I once thought was impossible is now unfolding fills me with joy.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who makes the impossible possible in our lives—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
