Observation of Exodus:
- God gives very detail instructions on how to make the Tabernacle and the courtyard around the Tabernacle

Observation of Matthew
- Jesus illustrates how he will return (when no man knows when) by telling the story about the 10 bridesmaid. 5 were wise and 5 were foolish. The 5 that were wise brought extra oil for their lamp. The trip was delayed by groom so the bridesmaid went to sleep; At midnight, there was a shout and the bridesmaid woke up and prepared their lamps. The 5 wise ones had enough oil but the 5 foolish ones lamp was burning out and they ask more. The 5 wise ones said, we don’t have enough, go and purchase some more. When the 5 foolish ones went to the store, the bridegroom came, received the 5 that were ready, took them to the marriage feast and locked the doors. The 5 foolish ones missed out on the feast because they were not ready.
- The next illustration was about the master who gave his servants gold and left for a long trip. The expectation was to make an invest on the gold. The one servant buried his gold and the rest of them invested. When the master came back and asked them to give account on how they invested the master’s gold; everyone had a good report except the one who buried his gold.
- Note: “To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who are unfaithful, even what little they have will be taken away.”

Observation of Psalm

-
Observation of Proverbs
- Wisdom is demanding to be listen to and is telling the audience how fruitful they will be if they listen to her (Wisdom).
