Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.

All right, guys, I know at the end of last week, I said it would be Joby this week, but we

move the schedule around a little bit, so I don't know if this is disappointing or exciting,

but it's me again. But today we are going to be talking about attributes, and specifically

the attributes of God. And it can be kind of hard to describe someone else's attributes.

So I don't know if you've ever been asked to describe somebody else. But every now and then you kind of run aground, you don't really know exactly what to say next. And then if you've ever been asked to describe your own attributes, right? You know, think of like a job interview or, you know, some sort of dating app or something like that. I mean, that can be pretty difficult because at the same time, especially for us guys, you don't want to come off too cocky, but you don't want to come off too passive.

And this is part of the reason why people love personality tests so much. I mean, you do your Myers-Briggs,

you do one that tells you what kind of like ancient animal you are. And then you got like satanic ones like the

Enneagram. If you don't know why it's satanic, go check it out on my show. I give you the receipts, but I digress. But then when we talk about describing the attributes of God, that can be really

difficult because depending upon if you're flipping through the Bible and you just land on a page,

it might be difficult to kind of surmise exactly what attributes we're talking about here.

So why don't we let God speak for himself? So that's what we're going to do this week on the Daily Blade.

And we're going to do that by looking at God's Word in Exodus 34 versus 6 and 7.

So I got the idea for to go check that out. Google

and find it so you can watch it or listen to it for yourself. Again, March the 16th, it's called

show and tell. But his sermon got me thinking specifically about the attributes of God and God in

his infinite wisdom. He actually gives us a list of his attributes in Exodus 34, verses 6 and 7.

But before we get there, we've got to set the stage today before we dig into those verses starting tomorrow.

So in Exodus 32, if we go all the way back there, while Moses is on Mount Sinai receiving the law from God, right?

You know, communing with God.

The Israelites grow impatient and they ask Aaron, his brother, to make them gods, right? And so Aaron creates a golden calf, and they begin to worship it, and they're engaging in basically a gigantic rager around this thing, and they're going all crazy and whatnot.

God tells Moses what the people have done and threatens to destroy them, but Moses kind of intercedes on their behalf.
