Exodus 16:10-27, 31-36
Behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
11 And the Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
13 In the evening quail came up and covered the camp,
and in the morning dew
lay around the camp.
And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground. 15 When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was.
And Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat. 16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an omer, according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.’”
17 And the people of Israel did so. They gathered, some more, some less. 18 But when they measured it with an omer, whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack. Each of them gathered as much as he could eat.
19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it over till the morning.” 20 But they did not listen to Moses. Some left part of it till the morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them. 21 Morning by morning they gathered it, each as much as he could eat; but when the sun grew hot, it melted.
22 On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers each. And when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,
23 he said to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left overlay aside to be kept till the morning.’” 24 So they laid it aside till the morning, as Moses commanded them, and it did not stink, and there were no worms in it.
25 Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is a Sabbath, there will be none.”
27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they found none
31 Now the house of Israel called its name manna.
It was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. 32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations, so that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’” 33 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before the Lord to be kept throughout your generations.” 34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the testimony to be kept. 35 The people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land. They ate the manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
Abba, Father God,
We lift up Elliott to be completely healed.
2020 is Officially many things, but perhaps the most expressive phrase is from Star Trek:
"Damage Report."
We saw the Christmas Star arrive this year for the first time since Galileo and the Plagues of Naples. We have lived seeing Rome sing as they sang in the evenings of other Plagues. The Joy and the concern and the beauty. The resilience. The fragility of Life becomes the Joy and Strength of Life.
We should never forget during this very unpleasant year, how many times God heard our prayers.
Sincerely, we helped one another before we all began to melt into Pandemic brain. Signs of dreams for mankind before the historically typical violence and crazy anger erupted. Brain fry.
And again we heed how many prayers were answered.
The Violence seemed ready to scorch the earth. And did not. Even as the fatalities increase and weariness prevails. Do not give up Hope. The New Year Dawns as medical history is made. The research papers are Nations working together. Incredible Team work from the Top and flowing down to our own calming down.
Romans 5:3-4
Not only that, but we glory in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope
Glory is not an average word.
Glory involves Awe. Awe inspires us to think higher thoughts out of the daily dog path. Glory draws us up to think of far away in time, in spirit and in miles. Glory pulls people together in Wonder. The Bible explains Glory reveals hearts. All different levels of suffering, coping and overcoming. Glory often requires a good measure of Overcoming.
Romans 5:3-9
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
And hope does not put us to shame because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Since we have now been justified by His Blood,
how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him!
By You all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
Jesus brings many sons to glory.
For Jesus is come to our Father's glory with His angels,
and He will reward each person according to what he has done.
Today:
We are praying for Dee and Wayne. Like Hebrews 11. For 20 years, we have seen Wayne donate 40 hours a week to Church Office difficult and demanding work for Volunteer Time. Wayne's Gracious Gift. We have seen Dee run Altar Guild. Bible Study and Daughter's of the Cross. We have seen Dee study St. Stephen's Ministry, work Pro-Life and take Amazing Father Francis and Judith MacNutt Prayer Ministry Class. And in this Ministry Class we prayed and found our group alone prayed for a 2nd time mouth cancer patient, who graciously accepted prayer for the first time and arrived at surgery to find no oral cancer. Healed. Completely. We prayed for an 89-year-old Priest to stay forever in bed dying of heart failure, who got up and began to go 2 miles a day in exercise and make trips to Texas and the grocery store. We prayed Hurricane Ike wouldn't crush our houses with trees and found this last summer, our answered prayers held as I lost a Magnolia without damage and Dee lost her two huge Oaks without damage. Hurricane Ike saw a tornado in our backyard, trees flung East, South and West and didn't damage our home. Our friend lost the stairs to her home's garage apartment and no damage to their home.
We prayed over knitted blankets and heard the comfort and healing the hospital patients found in the Lord Jesus and in our group's prayers. We prayed for Elliott to live and Elliott found remission, we pray for total healing. Jesus heard us pray twice for financial restitution and found this 3 times. We prayed for Wayne to survive a botched pacemaker and he did. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne to survive his trauma for the hip operation and Wayne did well. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne's sudden bleeding eye and Jesus healed Wayne. Dee had a no big deal nose skin cancer and literally had half of her nose shaved off two summers ago like a skeleton. Dee's next two surgeries Jesus heard us all pray again
and Jesus restored Dee's nose to a hundred percent of normal.
Jesus has been hearing us pray in Amazing and Wondrous Ways. We ask Jesus today for Wayne to be healed of the Covid he tested Positive for. Dee tested Positive for Covid and we pray for her Healing as well. We ask Jesus to allow Dee and Wayne to heal from this as easily as we have seen all His Prayers answered.
Lord Jesus please heal, love, forgive, and heal them all
in Your Love and Mercy. Amen.
We lift up Elliott to be completely healed.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among
those with whom He is pleased!”

Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Isaiah 40:31
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
