• Under the Mosaic system sin always cost you financially as well as spiritually. Allowances were made so that even the poor could have their sins forgiven, but a habitual sinner could impoverish himself and his family by committing sins that required his animals to be killed for atonement.
• The death with Nadab and Abihu is a stern warning that when God has specified what He wants, we must not add to it or change it.
• The inauguration of the priesthood, like the assembling of the tent of meeting, was done as the LORD commanded Moses. Can the same be said of my worship and practice of Christianity?

• God told Moses, make sure you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain. Then they did everything just as the LORD commanded Moses. Obedient faith gives us assurance that we are doing what is pleasing to God
• Moses strongly desired God to stay with them as they traveled. The tent of meeting met that need. It allowed God to be with them without His righteous indignation striking out against the people in their unrighteousness
• How many animals had to die because of their sins? And ultimately the Lamb of God. Not only for their sins but for mine, as well.

• I got a taste of the fear that instinctively comes when I am in the presence of God and recognize my own sinfulness
• The I AM is Almighty! What can He not do?
• I shared Moses' reluctance to take on the task God had given, along with the wonder that God thinks He can use me
• It is terrible to have your stubbornness used by God to accomplish His purposes
• God's purposes are so sure and so awesome, He can allow His people to suffer and die for hundreds of years without any fear that His righteousness and mercy will not be fully vindicated. Jesus is the proof that every injustice will be atoned for.

• God is awesome to bring blessing out of the worst that evil men and this world can throw against us
• Trust and obedience toward God can bring us through the most unfavorable circumstances
• If I want to read the Bible in the morning, I need to not stay up too late the night before
• God can redeem even the most dysfunctional family situations
• Jacob confessed that he was a stranger and a pilgrim on this earth

• There appear to be an infinite number of ways to corrupt and poison the ideal home life that God intends. We will never be able to enjoy that ideal without serious thinking and praying. Otherwise we will either repeat the mistakes of our parents, or invent a whole new collection of foolishness guaranteed to make ourselves and our loved ones miserable.
• God has so much mercy on His people.
• When God has plans for you, He does not leave you alone until He has accomplished them. Thank God!
• Everything that Jacob thought he had gotten for himself by hook and crook, or even by the sweat of his brow, God had in fact provided for him. This is true of us as well.

• What must it be like to have God eating at your table?
• God is both infinitely patient and infinitely demanding of His people
• Did the Jordan river continue to flow south all the way to the sea before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah? Were these cities in the valley that is now the Dead or Salt Sea?
• I must consider my children to be God's to do with as He wishes
• It is a wonderful thing when God picks your spouse. But God must continue to rule in to home if there is to be peace and harmony

• I really didn't want Adam and Eve to mess up what God had planned for them.
• I wondered what the world would be like now if no fall had occurred
• I longed to see something that God would call "very good"
• I longed to walk with God like Enoch
• I asked God to make my family a blessing to the world like Abram's
• I wondered why Abram's father had already started from Ur to Canaan. Had he received the same call that Abram had? Why did he stop before he reached Canaan? Will I make it to where God is leading me?

I have been pretty excited about this idea since I heard about it, and my anticipation has been growing as my start date approaches. I have read through the Bible over an extended period of time (a year or more) several times. I have also done 30 day readings through the New Testament, and done some extended memory work in the New Testament, but it has been several years since I read the entire Bible. When I was reading the New Testament in a short period of time, I remember being able see connections more clearly, and to see a bigger piece of the big picture, just as the organizers of this project describe. I am really looking forward to experiencing those same benefits with the whole Bible.
