Exodus 31:13
"Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy."
Exodus 31:17
"It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested."
Exodus 31:16
The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant
John 4
23 A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
The Exodus 15-30 discusses so many of our current events. Surely Exodus 31 is part of our recovery. This week our Methodist Church sent out recommendations to put out wine and bread during Church and have Communion as Church concludes. To know deep within us, we are Nourished in Jesus Christ.
When Father God gave Manna to the Children of Israel, this simply occurred in the field. God has made being Nourished something of apparent intent, deliberation and as a Gift of God.
Nehemiah 8
9 Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to all of them,
“This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people were weeping as they heard the words of the Law.
10 Then Nehemiah told them, “Go and eat what is rich, drink what is sweet, and send out portions to those who have nothing prepared, since today is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Exodus 32
went back to the LORD
and said,
"Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold."
32 "But now, please forgive their sin – but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written."
Exodus 32:14
Then the LORD relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened. Exodus 32:35 Plague.
Exodus 33:13
"If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways, so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people."
Exodus 33:14
The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness"
Exodus 34:29
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD.
Nehemiah 8
The Joy of the LORD is your strength!
Abba, Father God,
We have all experienced concerns this year. Jesus prays in God's Living Word:
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
We pray for Covid-19 minds being healed. We pray for the collective sharing overcoming this depleting virus. Worldwide.
And give thanks for the tremendous crops You've provided the planet this year. Some of the largest crops this year in recent history. Feeding all of Your Good Creation. Saving the world.
John 17:24
"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."
Abba, help us to Seek You first. And we will find more Heaven on earth.
Jeremiah 1:9
Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me,
“Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
Abba, we have all said words with haste or with too much emotion. We are from the generation saying, silence is weird. Help us to have more peace for the words going into our ears and the words leaving our mouth. To appreciate silence more.
Thank God, for the people called to enter into the fray.
We ask in the Name of Jesus for Your Help.
Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and more Joyful.
Covered in God's Love,
President Donald Trump
Vice President Mike Pence
The Presidential Team
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Robert Redfield, Dr. Deborah Birx
and their families.
Governor Abbott and all 50 Governors and Legislatures.
The end of trouble surrounding this Virus.
And Jesus prays for us in all our paths. He helps those living in Great Anger.
He helps those living in a Tornado of Information. He helps those sorting through the information
to find the news. God our Father helps those feeling oppressed by isolation. Father God helps
those worried about being in public or at work. He cares for our Families.
He helps our Son in the Bar Exam. Bless those we Love. Encourage them.
Father, guide us to stay on the Path of Your Hope and Future. Teach us the Way, Truth and Life.
Encourage us to be where You want us to be. Protect us to remain firm and standing in You.
Open our heart to pray for others as we think of them, daily, open us to praying for those around us
and all over the world. Bless our hearts to love one another and just be polite. To find Heaven
on earth, giving Heaven and seeing Heaven.
And then we have honored Jesus' Love and prayer for us today. Amen.
On the Path God has Given and Gifted us.
