And like Exodus there are occasional lengthy passages of genealogies or other details.

Last on our menu of Biblical writing is prayer and praise. However, rather than take these together in one giant post, let's look at them separately.
Prayers recorded in Scripture aren't much different from those we pray ourselves. Look for God's name and then the requests usually follow with the verbs leading the way.
Sometimes that order is reversed, with the request coming first.
Some other prayer markers to watch for are the words "may" and "let".
Which Biblical prayers mean the most to you?

Bible study… Intimidating? Frustrating? Go to the Source.
The Holy Spirit inspired every word written in Scripture. He is the One who pulls back the curtain revealing new things each time we study Scripture. In fact the Bible itself underscores how necessary the Spirit is for understanding.
1 John 2:27 He teaches us
Isaiah 11:2 He is the source of all wisdom
John 14:26 He will teach us all things and remind us
John 16:13 He guides us into truth
Nehemiah 9:20 God gave the Spirit to instruct us
1 Corinthians 2:10-13 The Spirit searches and reveals the deep things of God, the things only He can know and teach
1 Corinthians 2:14 Learning from the Spirit is the mark of a believer
Seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance as you read and study. Let this be your prayer. “Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your Law.” Psalm 119:18
