Numbers 11

Some of the Israelites started complaining
about not having meat to eat, only manna.

So God arranged for quails to land near the camp
and be easily caught for food.

About this time Moses selected seventy men
to help him care for the people.

God  blessed the seventy men and they began to prophesy.

Moses said "I wish the whole people of God could be prophets, 
and God would give his Spirit to them all".

Dear God, please pour out your Holy Spirit on the whole human family


Psalm 128

O blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways.

By the labor of your hands you shall eat.
You will be happy and prosper:

your wife like a fruitful vine in the heart of your house;
your children like shoots of the olive, around your table.

Indeed thus shall be blessed
the people who love and honor the Lord.

May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life.
May you see your children's children in a happy Jerusalem!

On Israel, peace!

Dear Lord, may all married people  live to see their children's children


Romans 8

Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus,
even if we are in big trouble of any kind

By the power of Jesus who loves us, 
we can get through any trouble

Jesus, when I am in trouble, help me remember your love


Mark 3

Jesus again went to a prayer hall on the Sabbath.
In the hall was a man with a withered hand.

The religious leaders were watching Jesus to see if he would heal on the Sabbath,
hoping for something to use against him.

Jesus said to the man with the withered hand "Stand in the middle of the hall".
Then he said to the religious leaders "Is it against the law on the Sabbath to do good?"

They remained silent. Grieved that they were so obstinate,
Jesus looked angrily round at them, and said to the man "Stretch out your hand".

He stretched it out and it was healed.
The leaders left and began to plot how to get rid of Jesus.

Jesus, don't let my heart become obstinate
