E 20-21

God has E talk to the elders and explain what's gone wrong. He explains his side of the situation...Egypt, the Wilderness, the milk, the honey...the idol worship, the harlotry. Its all here. He tells them to go ahead and worship thy idols, but keep his name out of it.
Then chapter 21 made little, to no sense to me. I'm sure, however that its about the death of Israel.

I feel like God is making His case again, that He has been more than fair and patient. And that although they don't deserve it, He has given them yet, another chance. So it is with us. It is by grace (undeserving favor) we are saved, not of ourselves (or anything we've done to be worthy).

It's not enought to know and agree (in theory) with God's statutes, but to "live in and by them".

21:24...so that in all your doings, your sins appear... I find this worth pondering for awhile.

Tomorrow is Ez. 22-23
