I’ll save the snarky stuff I have to say about 2020 for later. This AM, just prayer: Merciful Savior, grant healing to the sick, effectiveness, safety & speed to vaccines, tenderly bandage every wounded & broken heart, grant presence to the lonely and recovery to the traumatized.
O God, grant provision & financial recovery to the staggering number of people who lost jobs & income. Restore businesses. Give courage to the scared, safe harbor to the homeless. Holy Spirit, hover over the dying. Save the lost. Reassure the found. Lift the eyes of the downcast.
Mend by your infinite wisdom, righteousness & kindness, the countless wounds caused by hate in this hour of human brutality. Bring forth a harvest of repentance, forgiveness & the power to forgive. Bind the darkness that has befallen us. Break forth the dawn of a fresh awakening.
And, finally, Lord, grant by your endless mercies that we of faith may one day reflect on the year 2020 & say with wonder & praise the words of Paul in Phil 1:12.

“Now I want you to know, brothers & sisters, that what has happened to [us] has actually advanced the gospel.”
I ask these things in the Name above every name,

in the saving, healing, restoring, forgiving, freeing, transforming, all-powerful, compassionate, perfect, holy, immutable, ever-living, ever-loving name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Oh man, I loved my Bible reading this morning. It was Exodus 28 where God gave Moses the instructions for the priestly apparel Aaron & his sons were to wear. The attention to the minutest detail confirms what we can still count on today: everything God prescribed had purpose.
Whether or not they understood it, whether or not we understand it, God is not haphazard. Nothing is for nothing. For me, one of the most marvelous parts of Bible study is how often he does tie things together for us, connecting the dots, connecting the testaments, the covenants.
I’ll just offer 1 example from Ex 28. V.3 says “You are to instruct all the skilled artisans, whom I’ve filled with a spirit of wisdom (isn’t that fantastic?), to make Aaron’s garments for consecrating him to serve Me as priest.” The turban was an important piece of the apparel.

I’m not much of a New Year’s resolution person but I do thoroughly believe in planning and preparing to live in pursuit of God & Christlikeness, in pursuit of love, faith & joy in a coming year. Our natural default is to sow to the flesh. We won’t sow to the Spirit by accident.
These are perfect days to plan. We have no idea what 2021 holds so 1 recommendation I’d make if this resonates with you is to seek God’s leadership in how he’d have you map out a plan for your spiritual disciplines. He DOES know what 2021 holds for you. Fellow communicators,
we’re not talking here about preparing messages or planning chapters to write. Those things are important but they are separate matters. We’re talking in this thread about continually growing in our relationship with Christ. I don’t know a lot of things but I know this:

We could take a few days off from all our righteous & unrighteous indignation & brave being kind, generous & maybe humorous with people on here as a grace gift for Christmas, an act of worship to the One whose birth we celebrate. This year’s been hard on your enemies. Bless them.
My reading this morning was Exodus 16 on the manna in the wilderness. I was particularly struck by God’s unwavering insistence that his people trust him by gathering twice the manna on the 6th day and doing no work on the 7th. It occurred to me afresh that our unwillingness to
rest and take a break at sacred times from all our labors, battles and causes are acts of distrust. I mean, after all, what would God do without us? If we don’t stand up for our *side* and for our causes for a few days, who will? Ah, but this is the test, isn’t it? If we can’t

Exodus 15 this morning: the Exodus psalm the Israelites sang after God delivered them through the Red Sea on dry ground. Just 1 thought today. I say these words to myself as I say them to you. Has God brought you through? Were you convinced you wouldn’t make it but here you are?
Pause on that shore before you take another step & give him the praise he’s due for what he’s just done. Keep your praise current. Think about not being all stiff & sophisticated. We were made to worship. Loosen up & clap your hands. Recount to him aloud what he’s done for you.
Get specific. “Then you did this, Lord, and remember the part when you...?” Yes, he remembers but he loves it when we remind him. We tend to be long on petitions & short on praise. We plead for deliverance, he brings it unexpectedly, we drop a quick thanks & move to the next ask.

I keep thinking how often we on this whirling orb of thorn, dust, wind and thistle live out the reality of “hurry up & wait.” Over & over we dash around dizzily only to get ready to...wait. But it seems to me God’s way is often the reserve.

“Wait wait wait wait...

now HURRY!”
My reading this AM was Exodus 13-14. Our faith tradition is so rich. With careful, prayerful reading, the stories spring back to life on the sacred pages by the stirring of the Holy Spirit. All the waiting, wondering, crying, praying in Exodus then 13:4:”TODAY you are going out.”
The Lord had told Moses to camp facing the Red Sea. (Think of it like an enormous red stop sign.) Said to Moses, “Pharaoh will say of the Israelites: they are wandering around the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.” Isn’t that how we feel sometimes? Boxed in?

Was on a walk reciting some verses earlier and came to 1 Thess 4. I don’t care if you’re pre-millennial, amillennial, post-millennial, a yard perennial, a bicentennial, a fan-of-Benny-Hill, a left behind or a right behind, you can’t recite these words without your pulse pumping.
“For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the
sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
